Acharya Prashant explores the fundamental question of self-identity, noting that even the inquiry 'Who am I?' often originates from external influences rather than internal realization. He points out that most people only consider this question when prompted by an external program or session. He argues that everything an individual typically identifies as 'I'—including their name, religion, gender, and even the physical body—is derived from external sources. The body is formed from external cells and sustained by external elements like food, air, and water, leaving nothing that can be claimed as truly one's own.
