Acharya Prashant explains that observation and relaxation are essentially one. When an individual is internally relaxed, a subtle observation occurs automatically without the need for a specific technique or purposeful effort. He emphasizes that observation is not a duty, a planned action, or an obligation, but something that is always happening. It is often blocked by fear, which arises when one perceives themselves as small or incomplete. To overcome this, one must maintain a certain solidness of the heart and a gentle, invisible firmness that remains untouched by external gains or losses. He advises maintaining one's dignity and poise regardless of whether circumstances are pleasant or unpleasant. One should not let any loss become too important or any gain too meaningful. This inner core allows a person to remain firm irrespective of their thoughts. Acharya Prashant clarifies that observation is not the same as thinking; trying to 'start' observation only results in more thought. Instead of worrying about the act of observing, one should focus on keeping themselves clean and sensitive. When one is clean and loving toward themselves, observation happens on its own. Furthermore, he notes that there is no real distinction between being alone and being with others, as one is always surrounded by thoughts and the body, both of which belong to the world. The essential factor is maintaining an untouched solidness in the heart whether in a quiet corner or a busy market. He warns against turning observation into a deliberate activity or an ego-driven task. Finally, he stresses the importance of acknowledging fear for what it is without giving it beautiful names or getting adjusted to it, as recognizing fear prevents it from becoming powerful.
