Acharya Prashant explains that the internal conflict a seeker experiences is a natural and ancient phenomenon, occurring whenever one's eyes begin to open to the truth. He describes the mind as having two distinct levels or floors. The first floor is the domain of patterns, logic, memory, anxiety, and competition. It is the level where the ego resides, believing that success and peace can only be achieved through planning, violence, and effort. The second floor represents the soul or pure consciousness, where peace and truth exist without cause, logic, or thought. This state of being is characterized by a lightness and freedom from the burdens of the future and past responsibilities.
