Acharya Prashant explains the concept of the 'cycle of 84 lakh births' (Chaurasi ka phera), a term frequently used by Kabir Saheb. He clarifies that this is not about something that happens after physical death, but a continuous process occurring in every moment. The speaker states that whatever is leftover or residual from one moment will move forward in time. If you are something in a particular moment and have even the slightest attachment to it, that residue will be carried forward. This carrying forward of the residue of a moment is what constitutes rebirth (punarjanm). In this process of rebirth, death is not complete. One is half-dead, and a part remains as a residue. This is why one is never entirely new in the next moment; both death and birth are incomplete. This continuation of the cycle is described as the 'carrying forward of residual identification'. The speaker emphasizes that this cycle is not about a soul taking a new body after death, but about the constant, incomplete change happening right now. The only way to break this cycle is through 'complete death'. To illustrate, he quotes Kabir Saheb: "Everyone talks of dying, but no one knows how to die. I, Kabir, died in such a way that there is no second birth." Complete death is necessary to prevent a second birth. This means the total cessation of what is now, so nothing is left to be carried forward. The Atman (Self) cannot end, so this death refers to the end of the ego, thoughts, and the entire content of the mind. The problem lies in clinging to the past—its memories and notions. It is the 'sticky mind' that clings to objects, including the body, and gets reborn. This is also explained through the idea that unfulfilled desires (vasanas) are what take on a new body. This is a figurative way of saying that unfulfilled desires, or 'thirst', are what keep time alive. When this thirst ends, time ends, a concept J. Krishnamurti refers to as the 'ending of time'. The key is to not cling to the contents of the mind. The mind must be kept fresh and light, not burdened by the dead weight of the past.
