Acharya Prashant addresses the difficulty of observing thoughts without judgment, as taught by J. Krishnamurti. He explains that this is impossible because the thought and the thinker are not two separate entities; they are one. The entity that judges a thought as good or bad, or takes a side for or against it, is the thinker itself. The thinker and the thought at its core are inseparable, much like fire and its heat. The speaker asserts that the thinker lacks the capacity to be an impartial observer of the thought precisely because it is its own thought. While it is easy to dismiss thoughts as external conditionings from society, the real challenge lies in recognizing that the thinker, the 'I' itself, is also false and conditioned. We readily accept that thoughts can be false, but we hold the thinker, the 'I,' as real, which is the fundamental error. All mental activities—thoughts, feelings, and tendencies—are false. Consequently, the 'I' at their center must also be false. In fact, this 'I' is the primary falsehood from which all other false thoughts emanate. The desire to remain as you are, at the ego-center, and yet become an impartial witness to your thoughts is an impossible and self-deceptive goal. One cannot remain a magnet and wish to be impartial towards iron. From the wrong center of the ego, no right action is possible, including the highest action of becoming a witness. The speaker highlights the mind's hypocrisy: it performs an action, then condemns it by saying 'shame on it,' thereby affirming its own supposed goodness and absolving itself of the need to change. This cycle persists because the individual fails to see that the doer and the deed are one. The solution is not to focus on the thoughts but on the thinker. Instead of trying to observe thoughts, one must first investigate and get rid of the thinker. The focus must shift from the thought (the deed) to the thinker (the doer). The real practice is to investigate the thinker. Once the false center, the thinker, is understood and dissolved, impartiality and the state of being a witness can arise naturally.
