Acharya Prashant explains the meaning of a verse by Kabir Saheb: "Kabir stands in the marketplace with a torch in hand; whoever burns their own house, come along with me." He clarifies that this is not a paradoxical statement but a very direct one. The 'house' here does not refer to a physical structure of bricks and mortar but to the mental house where one resides. The word 'rah' (to live) comes from 'raksh' (to protect), so the house is a place where you feel protected, a permanent seat or abode. This mental house is where the ego likes to reside because it feels safe there. The ego, which is the false 'I' or our pseudo-identity, seeks security and a place to stay. Kabir Saheb is talking about burning this mental house. He explains that our preferences, our likes and dislikes, are not truly our own; they are borrowed from our surroundings, society, and upbringing. He gives examples like our food choices, preferences for cars, or home decor, which are all conditioned. We are often unconscious of this conditioning and call these borrowed preferences 'my choice'. To burn the house means to burn this false relationship with things that are not truly ours, to let go of the sense of 'mine'. This is not about physical destruction but about destroying the false mental attachments and beliefs that provide a false sense of security. Acharya Prashant addresses the fear that if everything false is gone, nothing will be left, which is a fear of annihilation. He reassures that what is true will remain because truth cannot be destroyed. When the false is gone, a new, true, and beautiful life begins. He encourages trusting that if you let go of the small, something higher and better will be received. He concludes by stating that beauty is where there is no fear. Fear makes one ugly, regardless of any external adornments. The one who is fearless is beautiful.
