Acharya Prashant addresses the concern that thought is the only reality one knows, and that anything beyond thought seems non-existent or irrelevant. He explains that while thoughts have causal links and reasons, fundamental human experiences like love and deep sleep exist outside the realm of thought. In deep sleep, one is in a thought-free state that is blissful, yet the ego finds this bliss useless because the 'self' as a collection of thoughts is absent. He asserts that freedom from thought is not something that can be experienced by the person as they currently are; one must choose between preserving the self-image or attaining that bliss.
