Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding how to maintain the conviction of being the 'Brahme self' while engaged in demanding intellectual work as an IT professional. He clarifies that the statement 'I am Brahman' is fundamentally different from worldly identities like being a professional or a father. While worldly identities are objective and tangible, Brahman is formless, limitless, and beyond sensory perception. Therefore, identifying as Brahman is not about acquiring a new label but is a process of negation, where one realizes they are not any of the thoughts, labels, or identities they can conceive of.
