Acharya Prashant clarifies the connection between the Vedantic idea of liberation and the Buddhist principle of emptiness. He explains that nature refers to self-origination, and since all things in the material world are dependent on other causes, they lack an inherent, independent nature. The ego, being dependent on the body, society, and memory, is essentially empty. He asserts that those who find a contradiction between Vedanta and Buddhism have likely misunderstood Vedanta by turning the concept of the soul into a new object for the ego to grasp. He uses the analogy of a car and its driver to show that the vehicle and the driver's biological functions are part of the same natural system. The true self, or the witness, remains separate from this mechanical process. He describes the state of a driverless car as one where the ego is absent during action, meaning the body and mind perform their roles while the sense of doership is gone. Referencing Kabir Saheb, he notes that the presence of the Divine is only possible when the ego has completely vanished, leading to a state where the most beautiful actions occur without a conscious actor.
