Acharya Prashant begins by questioning the common understanding of 'finding Ram'. He asks what it means to find Ram, questioning if Ram is a story, an image, a thought, a subject, or an object. He criticizes the superficial notion that one can 'get' Ram by holding him in one's hands or by adhering to certain stories or images. He asserts that these are merely activities and rituals, not true religion (Dharma). In response to a question about people turning to the path of devotion (Bhakti) due to worldly suffering and how to resolve the dilemma of getting neither the world (Maya) nor Ram, Acharya Prashant clarifies that Ram is not something to be found. Instead, the one who seeks Ram dissolves. Quoting Kabir Saheb, he says, "People have known Ram as a toy." He explains that Ram is the ultimate reality (Paramarth Rupa), which is imperceptible, unseen, beginningless, and incomparable. The dissolution of the ego is what is called 'Ramatva' (the state of being Ram). The path to this realization is self-knowledge (Atma-gyan). Acharya Prashant explains that darkness (ignorance) is not something in front of you but behind your eyes. The moment you become aware of the darkness, it ceases to exist because you can now see. The problem is that people often mistake their darkness for sparkling light. He defines religion as the continuous observation of oneself—one's actions, thoughts, feelings, and relationships—from morning to night. This self-observation is the way to dispel the darkness of ignorance. He further explains that self-knowledge is not something that can be given by books or scriptures. While books can inspire and motivate one towards self-knowledge, they cannot provide it directly. Self-knowledge is an instantaneous, live process. He concludes by emphasizing personal responsibility in this journey, quoting Gautam Buddha's teaching, "Appo Deepo Bhava" (Be a light unto yourself), which he equates to the principle of "Do It Yourself."
