In response to the question, 'Am I the answer to all my questions?', Acharya Prashant explains that the 'I' is not only the answer but also the source of the question itself. He differentiates between an 'answer' (jawab) and a 'solution' (samadhan). He states that you are not just the answer to the questions; you are also the question. The matter of an answer arises only when there is a question first, and you are the one who has raised the questions. Acharya Prashant elaborates that there are two ways to deal with questions: either answer them or resolve them. The 'I' from which questions emerge can easily find answers, but these answers are of no real value because they come from the same source as the problem. He explains that every question contains a pre-conceived expectation of its answer. Using the analogy of asking for the price of potatoes, he illustrates that the mind will reject any answer, like the path to liberation, that doesn't fit its expectation. This is why getting answers doesn't change one's life; it's a cycle where one answer leads to more questions. A 'solution' (samadhan), on the other hand, is not about answering the question but about dissolving the questioner. It addresses the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom. He compares this to purifying impure blood rather than just treating the pimple it causes. Treating the symptom is a superficial fix, while the solution is to purify the source, which is the mind. The 'soil' of the mind, filled with thoughts, beliefs, and conditioning, is what gives rise to questions. The ultimate goal is not to engage in the game of questions and answers but to attain a state of a problem-free, question-free mind. This is the true meaning of 'solution' (samadhan)тАФa state where the question itself no longer arises because one is simply living, not thinking about living. A flower blooms without asking questions; it simply is. The question 'What is life?' only arises because we are not truly living, but merely imagining it.
