Acharya Prashant explains that the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—are all inherently dualistic. Even in deep sleep, the seeds of knowledge and identity remain, which is why a person can be awakened by a call. He clarifies that Brahman is the non-dual foundation behind this dualistic system. Brahman is not an object of the senses or the mind; it is that which sits 'behind' the ears and eyes, meaning it is transcendental and beyond sensory perception. He warns that anything that can be heard, seen, thought of, or conceptualized is not Brahman. Most people worship their own mental projections and ego-driven creations, which is essentially a form of self-worship. The ego creates deities and heavens to seek validation and approval, but true spirituality requires moving beyond these mental constructs. He further discusses the nature of the ego, describing it as a 'thief' that claims credit for actions it does not truly perform. A real doer is one who has surrendered their identity to the ultimate source, making their actions effortless and free from the burden of 'doership.' Acharya Prashant also addresses the concepts of sin and virtue, stating that true liberation involves transcending both. Spirituality is not just about removing what is wrong but also about detaching from one's subjective definitions of what is right, as these are often products of external influences like culture and upbringing. A true yogi is one who moves beyond these accidental influences to find a permanent, internal stability that is not derived from time, experience, or external teachings.
