Acharya Prashant responds to a question about a poem by Kabir Saheb, which describes a wanting creature within, a river to cross where none exists, and the advice to "enter into your own body." He begins by asking, "Who is thirsty?" and answers that it is the "bodied one." Before one looks around to quench this thirst, it is crucial to understand its nature. This understanding comes from going within oneself to discover why one is thirsty and who the thirsty one is. This inquiry into the nature of thirst is what Kabir Saheb is pointing towards. The speaker explains that thirst is an overwhelming sensation that takes over the mind, causing panic and a strong urge to act. This urge, driven by conditioning, makes one run around in the world seeking solutions. This thirst is a feeling of insufficiency, discomfort, and unrest, signaling that something is wrong. The instinctive reaction is to do what one is trained to do: run around. However, what does not come instinctively is the realization to first ask, "What is this thirst? What do I want?" before seeking a solution. Before asking for a solution, one must understand the problem, and before stating one's wants, one must first ask, "Who am I?" The saints have always encouraged looking at oneself. All desires are personal; it's not merely a desire, but *your* desire. To fulfill a desire, one must first know what one wants. Just as you must tell a shopkeeper what you want, you must know your own desires; if the shopkeeper tells you what you want, he is fooling you. The saints urge us to see the structure of our own minds—how hope, fear, and conclusions arise, how we get hurt, and how demands and insecurities are related. The thing one dearly wants is often lost precisely because one clutches it. Acharya Prashant refers to another poem by Kabir Saheb, which says, "The swan flew up the unknown skies, free from her gross form. Beakless, she drank water there, forgetting her earthly home." He explains that as long as you identify with the body, you will believe it belongs to the earth, but your thirst won't be quenched there. Kabir Saheb advises letting the body belong to the earth while you, the real you, fly to the skies. There, you will drink the heavenly water without the body. There is the water of the earth for the body, and there is the water of the skies, which is drunk without a beak. If you can know what this thirst is, you are already quenched. Find your Beloved within your true Self.
