Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how one can truthfully say "I am small" when the "I" itself is a label. He begins by stating that saying "I am small" is much better than saying "I am big." He identifies the questioner's logic as a "very smart trap." This trap is the argument that since any action or statement involves the "I," one should refrain from them. For example, one might think, "Even if I say I bow down to the teacher, I remain, therefore I will not say I bow down to the teacher." He explains that as a human being, a mind, or consciousness, one cannot simply jump to non-being. One has to do something, say something, and accord oneself some identity. It is not possible to suddenly declare, "I am no more I," "I do not exist anymore," or "I am choiceless." One cannot lose the "I" all at once. Therefore, the best that can be done is to do the best that is possible for this "I." Since the "I" is an entity that chooses, the best one can do is to make the right choice, which is discretion or "Vivek." Acharya Prashant further warns against the trap of believing that since the "I" remains regardless of whether a choice is good or bad, there is no point in making a choice. He calls this a "bad argument" and misrepresenting reality. He clarifies that there are actions that "fatten the I" and actions that "diminish the I." Although the "I" is at the center of both types of actions, they are not comparable. The only way to get rid of the "I" is by doing the best that is possible for it. After making a hundred successive good choices, one can then say, "Now I do not even need the chooser." The chooser does not need to be dropped; by virtue of the successive good choices, the chooser drops on its own.
