Acharya Prashant explains that many global problems arise because the scientific method fails to turn inwards and question the observer, the subject, or the ego. While science rigorously questions matter and the universe, it accepts the subject's experience as final proof of existence. In contrast, a higher state of consciousness or faith looks at the subject and finds it unreliable, conditioned, and assembled from genetic origins and life experiences. Because the subject lacks authenticity and originality, faith refuses to treat it as an absolute and instead seeks something higher that is not a product of physical processes, space, or time. Acharya Prashant points out that while the scientific mind dismisses subjective stories and imaginations, it fails to question the fundamental bias that the world and the self exist. Faith involves questioning and dismissing everything, including the questioner, until only the absolute remains. This process of transcending layers of conditioning leads to a state where absolute trust is placed only in that which is unconditioned and uncontaminated.
