Acharya Prashant explains the fundamental difference between an answer and a resolution. He states that an answer is directed toward a question, which often strengthens the questioning mind and leads to further inquiries. In contrast, a resolution is for the mind itself, leading to a state of equanimity or Samadhi where the need for questioning dissolves. The mind typically seeks answers because they allow it to persist within its own boundaries, whereas a resolution exceeds the question and threatens the mind's existence. He emphasizes that answers are often just a play of language and stay within the limits set by the questioner's ego.
