Acharya Ji explains that our suffering begins when we identify ourselves with the body, physical properties, and material existence instead of our true nature. He emphasizes that Buddha, Atma, and Truth cannot be described through qualities because qualities belong only to Prakriti. Through Koans such as "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", "What is your original face before you were born?", and "This flax weighs three pounds," Acharya Ji shows how Zen challenges dualistic thinking and false identity. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b&nd=1&dlsi=2d753e5523df4ceb Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
