Acharya Prashant explains a story where a seeker asks Shri Buddha for the path to truth through either silence or words. Shri Buddha remains silent and unmoved, which leads the seeker to experience awakening and express gratitude. Acharya Prashant clarifies that Shri Buddha did not merely show the path but embodied it by remaining undisturbed. This unwavering state, regardless of external questions or challenges, is the path itself. He emphasizes that for a sincere seeker, a mere hint from the truth is sufficient, just as the shadow of a whip is enough for a good horse. The seeker's intense thirst for truth allowed them to understand the message instantly without words.
