Acharya Prashant explains that being frank means being straightforward, plain, simple, and uninhibited. It is an unobstructed state. The word for hesitation, 'sankoch,' is linked to 'sankuchan' or contraction, which means to experience oneself as small. Frankness is the state where you do not feel small, limited, or insignificant. In this state, a natural flow emerges. You don't pause to measure every step; you flow fearlessly and without hesitation. It is a simple, natural flow. Frankness does not mean being blunt or outspoken. It also doesn't mean speaking a lot or being aggressive. The true meaning of frankness is to be simple. Things appear as they are, without any knots or complexities in the mind. The mind is not constantly forming complexes or entanglements. Life becomes like flowing water. When you feel like asking something, you simply ask without overthinking about when to ask, what others will think, or whether it will enhance your reputation. You neither ask to dominate others nor hold back for any reason. The matter is straightforward and clear. Hesitation arises when one feels limited or small. Anyone who perceives themselves as small cannot be frank. One who has imposed restrictions on themselves will be caught in hesitation. Society sometimes teaches that hesitation is a virtue, and people may even praise themselves for being hesitant. However, hesitation comes from a hidden deceit or hope within the mind. It stems from wanting to gain something from someone. The root of hesitation is greed or fear. When people ask about overcoming hesitation, they often see themselves as victims of it. But in reality, they are victims of their own greed. Frankness is lost because you seek validation from others. Your feet tremble and your tongue gets tied because you are afraid of losing something you are getting from a person or situation. Greed and fear are the enemies of frankness.
