Acharya Prashant explains that both the knowledgeable person and the ignorant person are essentially the same because ignorance is merely the awareness of a lack of knowledge. He asserts that ignorance has no independent existence apart from knowledge; it is simply the desire for more information or the feeling that one's current store of knowledge is insufficient. All knowledge is centered on objects, whether they are people, things, or thoughts, and this inherently creates a state of duality involving the knower, the known, and the process of knowing. He clarifies that knowledge itself is the source of suffering and a burden, as it fragments the singular truth into a triad of the observer, the observed, and the observation. The pursuit of more knowledge in the hope of finding peace is futile; instead, true peace comes from the cessation of accumulating knowledge and the removal of what has already been gathered.
