Acharya Prashant explains that freedom from conditioning is synonymous with freedom from thought because all thought is inherently conditioned by the past. He describes two types of conditioning: physical conditioning, which is the result of millions of years of biological evolution (such as having five fingers or feeling hunger), and social conditioning, which occurs after birth through the imposition of names, religions, and identities. He asserts that thought cannot exist without prior experience or information; therefore, no thought can ever be truly new or creative as it is always a product of the past. He illustrates this by noting that one cannot think in a language they have never experienced, like Spanish.
