Acharya Prashant explains that silence has no business or interest in explaining anything because, in true silence, the need for explanations disappears. He describes silence as the realization that all explanations are worthless and that even knowing is a burden. Silence is a state of being unconditionally all right, free from all tensions, worries, and the obligation to realize, irrespective of external circumstances. It is not a thought to be repeated or verbalized, but a state of being perfect even without realization. Addressing a question about a fearful yet attractive pull toward shamanism in Peru, Acharya Prashant suggests that both the attraction and the fear might be external influences or stories rather than intuition. He notes that excitement often comes from media or books, while fear comes from stories of suffering or danger. He advises the questioner to honestly inquire into the facts rather than living based on stories or dreams. By investigating the reality of the attraction, one can determine if it is worthy of deepening or if it should be dropped entirely.
