Acharya Prashant explains that willpower is a useless medicine for a non-existent disease. He argues that people only feel the need for willpower because they live in illusions and create imaginary fears. Using a story about two friends fighting over an imaginary animal in an imaginary field, he illustrates how people generate internal conflict and use willpower to fight enemies that do not exist. He asserts that what is natural and right does not require willpower to be performed.
