Acharya Prashant explains that if you live on the circumference of life, things will always appear fragmented to you. This is not because things are actually fragmented, but because what you experience is determined by your location. He illustrates this with an experiment he used to conduct with large audiences. He would ask everyone to summarize the session in a few points on a piece of paper. Then, he would ask them to exchange their sheets with their neighbors, which would cause a commotion. This is because what one person thinks the speaker said is not at all what even their immediate neighbor thinks he said. Each person is very confident in their own experience, believing something is a fact because they saw it or true because they know it. The speaker clarifies that what you perceive could be true, but only at the center of the wheel, a place where you do not exist. Instead, you exist somewhere along the radius, the long nerve that connects the center to the periphery. The standard mark of a low consciousness is that it lives in its own personal world, which is a sign of insanity. In contrast, a higher consciousness is marked by a disbelief and indifference towards its own perceptions. There is a paradox: when you are not prepared to trust your perceptions or experiences, they become trustworthy. Conversely, the more you are prepared to trust your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, the more untrustworthy they become. The method towards purity is to always remember how impure you are. Nothing purifies you more than the continuous remembrance that you are born impure. You must develop a linguistic allergy to certain words and phrases like "I felt," "I thought," or "This is the way I am." The moment you hear these words, an inner resistance should be triggered. Thoughts and feelings are the vehicles that carry mischief-makers. To stop the mischief, you must stop the vehicle. When you stop tolerating your personal impulses, then what is truly believable comes to you on its own. Only when you are gone, does what you really are, appear. Then, life can become a song of self-expression.
