Acharya Prashant discusses the eighth verse of the Ashtavakra Gita, where the false ego is compared to a large python that has ensnared the individual. The remedy for this condition is to drink the nectar of faith by realizing, "I am not the doer." He clarifies that in this context, faith signifies understanding or realization, and happiness refers to spiritual bliss. He explains that humans are not actually the doers; rather, they have unnecessarily attached themselves to the position of the doer, which rightfully belongs to Nature. By observing oneself and the world honestly, one can see that thoughts, feelings, and actions are pre-determined activities of Nature rather than personal achievements. The speaker compares human beings to machines, noting that while both function according to their inherent structures, humans possess an ego that claims credit for actions. This ego is the source of poison and suffering. While the body, acting as a machine, does not experience psychological distress, the ego that identifies with the body suffers deeply. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the ego cannot be found upon investigation, yet it experiences intense pain because of its false claims of being the operator and controller of the body. The ego's declaration of being the doer is a false one that leads to constant misery. To find freedom, one must separate themselves from the cycle of being a doer and an enjoyer. A liberated person realizes they are complete, independent, and not defined by their relationships or actions. Acharya Prashant explains that while an ignorant person acts out of fear or to complete themselves, a liberated person like Shri Ashtavakra continues to perform intense actions without the sense of doership. Such a person acts not for personal gain or to enjoy the results, but for the welfare and liberation of others, remaining entirely free from the desire for rewards or recognition.
