Acharya Prashant explains that the mind cannot be bound by rules regarding whether one should think about the future or not. He clarifies that when spiritual teachers speak about the anxiety of the future, they are describing the state of a diseased or conditioned mind, rather than giving a command to stop thinking about it. He distinguishes between 'understanding' and 'instruction'; while an instruction like "do not worry" is a superficial rule that often leads to more ego and conflict, true understanding leads to a natural transformation where worry simply falls away. He emphasizes that trying to follow a rule against worrying only creates a second layer of anxiety about why one is still worrying despite the instruction. The speaker suggests that instead of seeking new things to 'do' or asking for guidance on how to act, one should observe their current actions and their source. He points out that human effort often stems from a fragmented and egoistic state, leading to incomplete desires. For instance, one might want success or peace without wanting to change the underlying tendencies that cause failure or unrest. Acharya Prashant asserts that freedom from the past and future is not a goal to be achieved through practice but a 'natural fruit' of a healthy, clear mind. Just as physical health manifests naturally in the body, a healthy mind is so full in the present that the need to worry about the future naturally vanishes without effort.
