Acharya Prashant asserts that one's life is an open book, and there is nothing more to realize beyond it. He explains that the concept of God-realization is a myth because nobody can realize God. Instead of seeking to realize God, one should read the book of their own life. In this analogy, God is not a character within the story but is the very basis of it—the paper and the ink, the producer and director. God is nowhere in the story itself. The only thing one can realize is the fact of their own little life, which people often refuse to acknowledge because they are hell-bent on reaching a conceptual heaven. The fundamental fact to be realized is, "I am totally living as mind and body." This realization should reverberate in the mind and become a huge explosion. The mind and body are one; they are both Prakriti (nature/the material world). Everything that can be sensed, experienced, or named—thoughts, emotions, intuitions—are all one and the same, all Prakriti. One cannot think about Prakriti because Prakriti is the thought itself. This constant remembrance of being the mind-body is the true spiritual practice. The speaker cautions against asking what lies beyond, as the common mistake is to take things of this world and treat them as if they belong to the beyond. People treat their emotions, tears, conclusions, and social systems with a sacredness they do not possess, behaving as if they are unchangeable or from a higher dimension. However, everything in this world is dispensable, replaceable, and destructible and should not be given unnecessary respect. He advises living in good-humored contempt towards the world and oneself, treating the self as something of a joke. The problem is not just identifying as the mind-body, but the serious belief that "I am somebody," which is the source of feeling hurt and offended.
