Acharya Prashant explains a teaching by Kabir Saheb which suggests that the one whose throat you cut will in turn cut yours. He clarifies that this does not refer to a future act of revenge or a cycle of physical harm. Rather, he points out that the very existence of the self as we know it is based on separation. To harm another or even to identify someone as "other," one must first separate themselves from that person. The moment you declare someone as "other," you have already cut yourself off. Thus, the act of cutting is simultaneous with the creation of duality. He emphasizes that one cannot be both the self and the whole at the same time.
