Acharya Prashant explains that there are two distinct ways of reading or learning. The first type is driven by the reader's desires, where the ego remains intact and seeks fulfillment through the text. In this mode, the reader is safe and unchanged, merely accumulating information to satisfy personal motives. The second type of reading is transformative and even 'suicidal' for the ego. Here, the reader observes their own existence, and in that observation, everything false and deceptive is exposed. This process causes the reader themselves to dissolve, as the one who started reading with selfish interests is no longer there by the end. Therefore, the question of 'what to do next' or 'what will I get' becomes irrelevant because the seeker who wanted a result has vanished. Addressing the confusion regarding the 'wise' and the 'foolish' mentioned in scriptures like the Ashtavakra Gita, Acharya Prashant clarifies why no specific technique or path is provided to transition from folly to wisdom. He explains that providing a method would only reinforce the illusion that one is far from the truth and needs to reach somewhere. Ashtavakra's approach is not about doing, but about knowing. Wisdom is not a destination to be reached through effort; it is the realization that you are already there. Foolishness is simply holding onto the false and looking in the wrong direction. While 'doing' is a way of grasping, 'knowing' is the way of letting go. Once the truth is known, the false attachments drop away naturally without the need for further action.
