Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of how one would function in the world if they were to give up their knowledge and self-identity, suggesting that the fear of physical death is what drives the desire to continue functioning. He explains that letting go is not a deliberate decision or an act of will, because as long as one is still deciding, they are still acting and possess energy. Instead, he describes a state of total tiredness, which is the recognition that all efforts and hopes for a future paradise are useless. This tiredness is an admission and a surrender that occurs when one realizes they are merely repeating old tricks that have never worked. He asserts that people endure hell in the hope of reaching a heaven, and true tiredness is the realization that this chase is futile. When one is truly tired, they no longer have the motivation to even make a decision, as they see that they have nothing left to try.
