Acharya Prashant explains that the soul is not an object of inquiry or something that can be seen with the eyes, as it resides behind the eyes rather than in front of them. He clarifies that the soul is not an answer to a question because it exists behind the question itself. Addressing experiences of thoughtlessness or meditative states that come and go, he asserts that any state that begins and ends belongs to the realm of nature and the ego, not the soul. He emphasizes that the soul is not an experience but the eternal foundation of all experiences, remaining untouched by them. He warns against the spiritual misconception that one can witness the soul or truth at a specific time or through a particular mental state, comparing such states to changing weather patterns. While some mental states may be more favorable or pleasant, they are merely 'weather,' whereas the soul is like the 'sky'—constant, unchanging, and beyond the cycle of coming and going.
