Acharya Prashant begins by stating that what people commonly call love is not love at all. He explains that when you say you love your child, you are actually just trying to mold them into an image of your own liking. He suggests that if you could kill the future, your present would blossom. A person who is free neither experiences suffering nor shame. Such a person sees their various personalities just as one sees clothes in a wardrobe—wearing one and then taking it off. Anything is truly yours only when you can renounce it. One should become so free from within that if the need arises to renounce even external freedom, one can do so. Whatever you identify as your personality, saying, "I am like this," is your bondage. This session is a discourse on the first verse of the seventh chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita. Janak says, "In the infinite great ocean that is me, the ship of the universe wanders here and there, driven by the wind of its own nature. I have no intolerance towards it." Acharya Prashant explains that the dialogue has reached a point where the speaker and listener, the guru and disciple, have become one, like a drop merging into the ocean. The essence of this chapter is the disassociation of the Self (Atma) from the mind and the world (Prakriti). The play of Prakriti, the duality of the mind and the world, continues, but the Self remains untouched. He clarifies that the world is like a ship moved by the winds of its own nature, which are the tendencies of the mind. Janak's statement of having no intolerance signifies a state beyond ordinary tolerance, where one is not affected by pain at all, rather than just enduring it. Acharya Prashant connects this state of being unaffected to true compassion and love. He quotes Sant Kabir, "Where there is compassion, there is dharma; where there is greed, there is sin. Where there is anger, there is death; where there is forgiveness, there You are." True forgiveness and compassion arise from a state of being untouched. He further quotes Kabir, "Kabir stands in the marketplace, wishing well for all, having neither friendship nor enmity with anyone." This universal well-wishing is possible only when one is free from personal attachments. Worldly love, such as a parent's love for a child, is often a form of violence because it is based on the desire to mold the other according to one's own preferences. The speaker emphasizes that to be free from sorrow, one must be free from the pursuit of happiness; to be free from ignorance, one must be free from limited knowledge. The spiritually realized person is not boring or emotionless but is free to experience all aspects of life without being attached to any single personality. This is the ultimate freedom.
