Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the source of thought and the lack of intensity in self-inquiry. He explains that the source of thought is not a mystery to be solved through deep digging, as thoughts arise from direct experiences like desire, anger, jealousy, and competition. He argues that the truth is deep, but the personal center from which one tries to 'dig' is shallow. The act of inquiry itself often keeps the ego or the 'digger' intact, preventing one from reaching the truth. He points out that the desire to know the source of thought comes from the same material consciousness and biological processes as the thoughts themselves. He further illustrates that inquiry is often just another thought or a product of one's mood, rather than a constant state. He compares a thought trying to find its own origin to a dog trying to catch its own tail. Regarding the role of a guru, Acharya Prashant questions the seeker's motive for wanting to understand the spiritual dimension of a guru's work. He suggests that seeking such knowledge is often a pursuit of power or control. He concludes that one should focus on understanding the questioner and the falseness of their self-identification rather than trying to interfere with or intellectually grasp the guru's grace.
