Acharya Prashant explains that there is nothing called a spiritual experience. Experience, by itself, is a thing in duality and has to be understood. He defines experience as the process where the ego-tendency within projects a world around itself, and then takes cognizance of that world through seeing, touching, and thinking. This process consists of two entities: the experiencer, which we call the self or the ego, and the world that is experienced. The interaction between these two is the process of experience. The fundamental problem, according to the speaker, is that the experiencer is itself fictitious. The more one examines the experiencer, the more one realizes it is a product of time, situations, and the entire process of conditioning. Using the analogy of an Indian and a South African watching a cricket match, he illustrates that the same event is experienced in opposite ways due to their respective conditioning. This demonstrates that experience is dependent on time, place, and conditioning, and therefore has no absolute worth. Spirituality is not about seeking special or exotic experiences, but about understanding the experiencer itself. The entire objective of spirituality is to get rid of the experiencer. This is achieved not through seeking experiences, but through realization. In realization, the experiencer is revealed, exposed, and ultimately dismantled. The speaker asserts that the myth of spiritual experiences must be busted, as the ego, being a dissatisfied entity, is always clamoring for more and special experiences, whether worldly or so-called spiritual. The obsession with inner, subtle experiences can be even more dangerous than attachment to material objects, as they are harder to investigate and expose. One cannot stop experiencing, but one can stop being blind to the process of experiencing. The way is to have one eye towards the world and another eye towards the experiencer. Even as one perceives an object like a table, one must also be aware of the 'someone' within who is making sense of it, associating memories, and raising hopes. This process, which usually happens unconsciously, deceives and enslaves. By knowing that the experiencer is a product of the body, education, and past influences, one feels no obligation to empower it and can simply step back and dis-identify from its reactions.
