Acharya Prashant explains that confusion is not merely a part of the mind but is the very nature of the mind itself. He challenges the common belief that the mind contains both confusion and certainty, asserting that everything occurring within the mind is confusion. Truth does not exist within the mind; when confusion is removed, the movement of the mind stops. He clarifies that confusion is always related to an object. Even if one replaces confusion with trust or certainty regarding an object, the object remains in the mind, meaning the confusion persists. True freedom from confusion occurs only when the object itself disappears from the consciousness.
