In response to a question about overcoming fear despite listening to his teachings for ten months, Acharya Prashant explains that fear is not something that can be removed so easily. He states that this is a whole process, and the work happens gradually. Using an analogy, he says that a child is born in ten months, but it takes time to raise them into a human being. He questions the very notion that change should happen in a specific timeframe like three months, ten months, or two years, admitting that even he makes ten mistakes every day. He points out that if he makes mistakes, how can all of someone else's mistakes be removed just by listening to him. The speaker suggests that this expectation of quick results stems from a flawed assumption that we are inherently good people and that liberation and bliss are our birthright. This belief causes us great trouble when we see that liberation is not happening or that there is no internal progress despite trying for ten months. He compares this to a cancer patient expecting to be cured in a week, indicating a lack of understanding of the depth of one's illness. We have absolutely no idea who we are. He explains that this is why saints have repeatedly cried for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Being born itself is a great misfortune. He refers to Shri Krishna in the Gita, who says that a devotee who understands Him does not return, implying that being born again is not desirable. Acharya Prashant elaborates that if being born were a beautiful, virtuous, or joyful event, saints would not have wished to be free from it. He describes the human condition as a disease where unsatisfied desires take birth in a body. The entire culture, he says, is such that it considers birth a great thing, celebrated by everyone from relatives to eunuchs. We consider birth a great event, and consequently, death a sorrowful one. This leads to the belief that our life cannot be flawed. He asserts that being born is a flawed event. Liberation, he explains, means freedom from the cycle of coming and going. He calls this world the 'realm of death' (Mrityulok) and the 'realm of sorrow' (Dukhalok), where the only relief is the blessing of knowing that something is wrong. The joy, if any, is in cutting the chains, not in dancing with them. He criticizes the modern, consumerist, and immature mindset that expects instant gratification in spirituality, just as it does in other areas of life. He concludes by reiterating that any high thing cannot be instant; it requires a long and arduous journey.
