Acharya Prashant explains that one cannot get rid of the old by brooding over it or trying to delete it, as both maintaining and attempting to eradicate something require focused concentration on that very thing. He emphasizes that the old only shrivels and falls away when the new is welcomed and the old is forgotten. True freedom from suffering occurs not through effortful struggle, but when suffering is forgotten; a person who tries to get rid of suffering often suffers the most because they are giving it constant energy. Using the analogy of chewing gum in hair, he suggests that panicking and exerting force only makes the situation worse, whereas letting things be allows for their eventual removal with relative ease. Acharya Prashant further discusses the right way of living, asserting that the starting point or the 'walker' matters more than the specific path taken. If one walks from the right center with truth in their heart and a commitment to peace, any path chosen becomes a godly way. He distinguishes between being 'automatic,' which implies a mechanical or programmed state, and being 'effortless' or 'natural,' which he describes as vibrant and throbbing with life. He encourages listening to one's heart so that steps are guided effortlessly and reasonlessly, rather than trying to follow someone else's prescribed path.
