Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how one can know if they have attained liberation (mukti). He explains that this question does not arise for a liberated person, as the state is entirely self-evident. It is akin to not needing to ask another person if one is thirsty or alive. The state of liberation is exceptionally clear. While it is possible to be deceived about worldly matters, one cannot be deceived about liberation itself, because liberation is freedom from deception. If one is still experiencing deception, they are not yet free from it. The speaker clarifies that a liberated individual is not immune to being deceived about external things, but they cannot be deceived about their own essential nature. The fundamental change is the dissolution of the 'I' or the ego. Liberation is when the issue of 'I' comes to an end. Consequently, all questions related to the self—such as 'Who am I?', 'What will happen to me?', 'How can I become better?'—cease to exist. This is the core of liberation: freedom from the 'I'. Even after liberation, a person may still have desires and engage in actions, but these are no longer for the fulfillment of the 'I'. The motivation for any action or desire shifts from being for the self (swarth) to being for the ultimate (paramarth), because the self (swa) has dissolved. The distinction is not in the scale of the action but in its motivation—whether it is for the 'I' or not. Acharya Prashant also dispels common misconceptions about liberation. It does not grant supernatural powers, immunity from physical laws, illness, or death. A liberated person still lives within physical reality. The crucial difference is that they are free from the ego, and this freedom is the only one that matters.
