Acharya Prashant explains that the inability to act on what one knows to be right stems from a lack of true knowledge or realization. He asserts that real knowledge and real action are concurrent; if one claims to know something but fails to act, they do not truly know it yet. This gap exists because the individual has not come close enough to the object of their knowledge to drop their preconceived images and achieve intimacy with it. He describes this state of realization as one that renders the ego helpless, removing the choice to not act and replacing it with a total commitment born of love.
