Acharya Prashant explains that the only person whose truth you can fully know is yourself. He questions why one looks outwards and lets the mind wander, instead of looking at one's own truth. He advises asking oneself, "What is my mind like? What am I doing right now?" He states that this is the fundamental and true question. The speaker emphasizes that whatever we see in anyone is a reflection of our own mind; we see things as our mind is, not as they are objectively. To illustrate this, he shares an anecdote about his friend Pradeep. When shown a triangle, Pradeep sees a potato; a circle, a pumpkin; a rectangle, a bottle gourd; and dots, peas. The speaker points out that Pradeep's mind is attracted to food, but Pradeep retorts that the speaker is the one drawing food-related shapes. Acharya Prashant agrees, explaining that this shows how we project our own mental state onto the world but believe we are seeing an objective truth. This is why people make those who have earned a lot of money their ideals—because their own minds are preoccupied with earning. This leads to the flawed assumption that one who earns is successful, an idea reinforced by society, TV, and newspapers. He urges the listener to question whether they want to live according to external conditioning or live their own life. He advises not to believe anyone's words too quickly, neither his nor one's own mind's. Instead, one should remain engaged in attentive observation. A true well-wisher would want you to test their words with your own attention, not just blindly accept or reject them. He concludes by stating that the source from which he speaks is available to everyone, and there is no fundamental difference between him and the listener.
