Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the apparent contradiction between different perspectives on observation and liberation. He emphasizes that the focus should not be on what various teachers say, but on one's own current state. He explains that observation can lead to either entrapment or liberation depending on the observer's intent and awareness. If observing a process leads to entanglement due to greed or attachment, it is a warning sign. Conversely, true observation allows one to see things as they are and remain detached. He points out that humans often remain stuck in the same patterns of desire, anger, and delusion for decades, failing to learn from past consequences. He further explains that while a child appears physically new, they are internally 'old' because they carry ancient biological tendencies and conditioning. He notes that humans have been repeating the same mistakes for thousands of years, recycling old stories without any real change. Referring to Shri Krishna's dialogue with Arjun, he highlights that these internal conflicts and tendencies are ancient. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that nature has designed a closed system where change is nearly impossible; therefore, if an individual truly transforms and breaks free from these repetitive cycles, it is nothing short of a miracle.
