Description

Acharya Prashant explains that when saints like Kabir Saheb or Bulleh Shah refer to themselves in the third person, it is a way of distancing themselves from the limited, physical identity. By saying 'Kabir stands in the market' instead of 'I stand in the market', Kabir Saheb detaches himself from the body that was born in a specific time and place. If he were merely that person, he would be limited to a specific family, caste, and era. By maintaining this distance, he becomes universal and infinite. The speaker emphasizes that the 'I' which identifies with the body is mortal and bound by duties and limitations, whereas the true self is the observer or witness (Sakshi) of the body's actions.
