Acharya Prashant explains that worry and the worrier are inseparable; when worry drops, the worrying entity also disappears. This duality means that a state of relaxation cannot be experienced by a 'worried one' who is now happy, because if the worries are truly gone, the experiencer of those worries must also vanish. True relaxation is a non-dual state where there is no separate observer to enjoy or label the state. It is often remembered only as a gap or an absence in memory, which he identifies as the essence of constant remembrance or God remembrance. Because this state is total and leaves no residue in the memory, any 'spiritual experience' that can be vividly recalled and repeated in the mind is likely just mental activity or auto-hypnosis rather than a transformation of being. He further discusses the limitations of analysis, comparing it to filing a police report after a thief has already escaped. Analysis is a delayed reaction to a past event, whereas the real spiritual work is instantaneous observation—catching the 'thief' red-handed in the present moment. To achieve this, one must be free from all mental states, including those we label as positive, such as being 'attentive' or 'observant.' Even the effort to witness can become a state that prevents true observation because it gives the mind a support to hold onto. Just as one cannot fall asleep while repeating 'I am sleeping,' one cannot reach a state of truth while clinging to any mental state or identity. Freedom requires the total absence of all states, allowing for a direct experience that does not leave a secondhand taste in the memory.
