Acharya Prashant’s teachings often encourage deep introspection, and one lesson that stands out for many is the concept of “self-awareness”—particularly the distinction between the mind and the true self. This lesson challenges the way we perceive our thoughts, emotions, and identities. By emphasizing the idea that we are not just our thoughts but the observer of those thoughts, it prompts a profound shift in perspective.
This realization can be quite unsettling at first, as it invites us to question our assumptions about who we really are and what drives our decisions. Many find themselves reflecting on their habits, fears, and motivations—realizing how much of their lives are influenced by societal expectations rather than genuine self-understanding.
