Acharya Prashant emphasizes the importance of 'just knowing,' where the word 'just' signifies simplicity and the absence of conceptualization, thought, or the need for self-correction. He explains that true knowing involves observing the daily ups and downs, victories, and defeats of life without creating a distance or trying to meet external benchmarks. He distinguishes this from ignorance, which he defines as knowing through the agency of thought. He suggests that instead of having faith in a conceptual God, one should trust themselves deeply, as this trust becomes the proof of the divine. This trust involves the courage to admit ignorance and to acknowledge one's mind completely, including its less attractive aspects.
