Acharya Prashant explains that true observation requires remaining untouched and unmoved by what is being perceived. Using the analogy of a CCTV camera, he illustrates that if the observer is displaced or influenced by the object, the act of seeing effectively stops. He emphasizes that the perceiver is inevitably influenced by the object of perception, such as a chocolate cake, and the mistake individuals make is identifying themselves as the perceiver. To avoid being influenced, one must not become the seer but instead remain in a state where there is no perception. Acharya Prashant clarifies that this state is not a physical location but a dimension beyond consciousness, space, and time. He suggests that while the senses may interact with objects, one's true self should remain occupied in the 'orchard of the Father,' completely detached from the business of consumption and influence. Ultimately, the real observer observes nothing and remains in an unshakeable position where the dualities of subject and object do not exist.
