Acharya Prashant explains a verse from the Chandogya Upanishad (Chapter 3, Part 18, Verse 1), which states that both the mind (inner space) and the Akasha or world (outer space) are Brahman and should be meditated upon. He emphasizes that the Upanishads urge a complete knowledge of both the inner and outer dimensions, which he relates to the concepts of *sambhuti* (manifest) and *asambhuti* (unmanifest), and *vidya* (knowledge) and *avidya* (ignorance). He asserts that it is impossible to know one space without knowing the other, as they are interconnected. Ignorance of one feeds ignorance of the other; for example, one is fooled by the world because one does not know their own mind, and vice-versa. He further elaborates on the statement "The mind is Brahman," clarifying that this is true only when the mind is meditative. When the mind is not meditative, it is not Brahman. This presents a choice to the individual. Vedanta, he explains, rejects any absolute power outside of oneself. The mind is everything—it is both the greatest weakness and the highest power. You are your choice, the choice between the highest and the lowest, the true and the false. The mind becomes Brahman only when one prioritizes knowing over self-preservation, when one is willing to say, "I may or may not survive, but I want to know." The liberated person (*mukta purush*) enjoys the world (*Prakriti*) through observation and knowing, not through consumption. In contrast, the common mind gets lost in making distinctions between various false things, like different types of unhealthy food for a diabetic, while failing to see the real distinction between wisdom and temptation. Acharya Prashant concludes that maturity is not about compromise but about a wise, irrepressible rebellion for the right cause.
