Acharya Prashant explains that the mind has no capacity to directly reach the truth or the transcendental because it is a product of evolution and conditioning. Any attempt to verbalize or name the truth brings it down to the limited domain of the mind, turning it into just another mental identification or concept. He argues that the ego loves to claim knowledge of God or the self to feel a sense of control and proximity, but truth is not information that can be gathered through memory or analysis. Instead of chasing a distant, conceptual truth, the mind should humbly operate in its own domain by observing the world and the self with sharpness and clarity.
