In response to a question about the difficulty of grasping liberation (mukti) and truth (satya), Acharya Prashant begins by humorously stating that the questioner has said something so profound that he is left speechless. He notes that the questioner attempts to capture and measure liberation and truth, sarcastically asking, "Where are your feet, my lord?" He explains that spirituality requires mature men, not naive boys, and that imagining liberation and then laughing when caught is an act of boyishness. The speaker emphasizes that people are so accustomed to living in fantasy that they even fantasize about liberation. He defines liberation as freedom from fantasy, yet points out the irony that the questioner has turned liberation itself into a fantasy. This is similar to how people have fantasies about the world, comforts, the future, and girls. They imagine what liberation must be like and then try to measure it, just as they measure everything else in their fantasies. Acharya Prashant reminds the audience that the wise have repeatedly taught that the ultimate is ineffable (akathya), unthinkable (achintya), incomparable (atulya), innumerable (asankhya), and infinite (anant). Yet, the questioner is trying to measure it. He uses an analogy: there is the real hydrogen bomb, and then there is the "hydrogen bomb" firecracker for Diwali, which boys are happy with. He asks whether one wants the real thing or will settle for a firecracker. He extends this analogy by listing firecrackers named after modern weaponry like Mirage, Jaguar, Rafale, S-400, and Brahmos, calling the fascination with these names "boys' games." He concludes by playfully suggesting they make paper airplanes and pretend one is a MiG-21 and the other an F-16, highlighting the immaturity of such conceptual games.
