Acharya Prashant explains that human beings exist between the possibilities of innate tendencies and liberation. While tendencies are powerful, they can never fully dominate a person because the potential for liberation always remains. He asserts that the choice between these two states ultimately lies with the individual. The reason people remain trapped in suffering is a fundamental lack of faith in the existence of liberation, peace, or freedom. This lack of belief is described as true atheism, where one does not trust in their own potential for joy and independence, regardless of their religious beliefs.
