Acharya Prashant explains that the mind cannot be stilled through effort because the one attempting to still it is the mind itself. He asserts that peace is not something to be achieved, but rather the natural state that remains when one stops actively creating disturbance. He points out that people's daily routines, from their social circles and internet usage to the spicy food they consume, are entirely designed to maintain a state of agitation. He emphasizes that individuals are the sole creators of their own unrest and, therefore, possess the power to stop it, yet they choose to hold onto their suffering out of habit and fear.
