Acharya Prashant addresses the nature of inquiry, explaining that peace, joy, and freedom are not objects of thought and cannot be known by the mind. He argues that the common approach of asking questions and seeking answers is often an assertion of the self and a barrier to true understanding. Most questions are petty and limited by the mind's own expanse, reflecting only the questioner's restlessness and possessiveness. Real inquiry does not involve striving or gathering knowledge; instead, it happens in silence and through attentive listening. He emphasizes that when true inquiry occurs, questions become insignificant and are eventually forgotten. The speaker distinguishes between knowledge and knowing, using the analogy of a scientist and a leaf. While a scientist may have knowledge about chlorophyll through concepts and equations, the leaf truly knows chlorophyll by being it. Real knowing requires the cessation of the separate self and the removal of the division between the subject and the object. He asserts that people often seek knowledge because it is material and can be displayed, whereas peace and silence cannot be jotted down or transferred. Inquiry is described as an effortless nature rather than a deliberate activity, occurring spontaneously when one is present. Acharya Prashant challenges the idea that wisdom is a result of time or experience, stating that intelligence is not tied to age. He explains that the most important aspects of life are mystical and cannot be theorized or reached through a specific process. He critiques the human tendency to rely on rationality and effort, suggesting that enlightenment is not an achievement gained through slogging or networking. Using the example of Buddha, he explains that enlightenment is always present and is realized only when one stops running away from it. Ultimately, he encourages a state of being where questions are seen as noise and one sits rooted in the sureness of the self.
