Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the mind should remain present with whatever is currently before it, whether it be Shri Rama or Shri Krishna, rather than being stuck in the past or future. He emphasizes that one should not suppress the mind or the facts that manifest before it. Suppressing questions that naturally arise leads to a life filled with suffering, whereas allowing these questions to surface and be resolved leads to a blossoming life. He describes the mind as energy that must be allowed to flow freely. When this mental energy flows consistently toward its own center, it leads to the ultimate achievement, often referred to as Samadhi. In practical terms, this means the mind shifts its focus from external objects, such as cars or the universe, to its own source, asking 'Who am I?' and 'Where did I come from?'. Acharya Prashant concludes that all mental activities should be dedicated to this center. He warns that repression only causes mental energy to become more outward-looking, while allowing it to flow freely enables it to move toward its true center.
