Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the identity of the inner witness who observes one's own experiences of joy, sorrow, and actions like reading. He advises simplifying the inquiry. Instead of getting caught up in the question 'Who is watching?' or 'Who is reading?', one should leave that question aside and instead ask, 'Why am I doing this?'. The one doing, reading, and watching is 'I' itself. The more pertinent question is about the intention behind the action. He suggests keeping things clear, clean, and straightforward. Instead of asking 'Who is the witness?', one can simply state, 'I am the witness.' The subsequent and more important question then becomes, 'Why am I listening to what I am listening to?' or 'Why am I doing what I am doing?'. Given the many available options, why was a particular choice made? This inquiry leads to the intention. Acharya Prashant cautions against the tendency to mystify things. Questions like 'Who am I?' are classical and scriptural, but they have become associated with a certain aura and a futile mysticism. If a mystery is maintained just for the sake of being a mystery, it serves no purpose and is a form of self-deception. People often declare something as mystical when they want to avoid knowing the simple, straightforward truth. For instance, when someone falls in love, they might say, 'I don't know what happened,' but the reality is simply desire (kamna). Mystifying things is a way to hide one's own intentions. Everything except the ultimate Truth can be known, so one should not be quick to label things as unknowable or beyond reason. The path of spirituality is not about discarding the intellect but about using it to its fullest extent. The path to the beyond goes through the intellect, by exhausting it, not by rejecting it. The intellect must be used to its limit. The path of spirituality is not about setting the intellect aside, but about walking the path of the intellect completely. The intellect is the vehicle, and its fuel must be consumed fully to reach the destination, not just spilled to claim arrival. The answer to the question 'Who am I?' lies in honestly asking, 'What do I want?'.
