Acharya Prashant explains that attaining liberation, or mukti, is fundamentally about giving up what one has taken upon themselves. He uses the analogy of a person who wants to be free while insisting on keeping their fetters, or someone who wants to satisfy their hunger while keeping their mouth blocked. He emphasizes that people often claim their attachments and obstructions are an integral part of their identity, making it impossible to heal them. To be healed or liberated, one must let go of the very things that cause the suffering, such as attachments, family, or workplace identities that have become burdens. He asserts that the attainment of mukti is actually the 'unattainment' of bondage. He further describes the resistance people feel when asked to let go of their 'tumors' or diseases, often allowing treatment only in areas that do not matter. Unlearning is described as the simple act of dropping garbage once it has lost its utility. Using a reference from Kahlil Gibran, he explains that many social structures, like the tribe or family huddle, were formed out of ancestral fear for security. Once that fear is gone, the huddle outlives its utility and should be dropped. Unlearning is not a new action but the cessation of needless actions and habits maintained solely by the momentum of the past.
