Acharya Prashant explains that the core of Shri Krishna's philosophy is desirelessness. He states that the intellect becomes confused by the rituals described in the scriptures, and one truly becomes a Yogi only by transcending these and entering a state of desirelessness. This state is characterized by a singular focus on the ultimate truth, while worldly matters become insignificant. He emphasizes that love is at the center of this desirelessness. Responding to a query about devotion and self-offering in the context of Maharishi Patanjali's teachings, Acharya Prashant asserts that these cannot be understood through a mind conditioned by the world. He explains that interpreting the words of a sage using worldly logic is futile, much like using an incompatible compiler for a computer program. To understand Maharishi Patanjali, one must first stop being a disciple of the world and set aside all prior education and preconceived notions. He points out that common interpretations of terms like posture, meditation, and total absorption are often superficial and far from their true meaning. He concludes that one must approach a teacher by leaving behind their worldly identity and maintaining a healthy doubt about their existing knowledge to allow the true essence of the teachings to unfold.
