Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to control or "break" the mind. He clarifies that the mind is not a physical object that can be broken. Instead, the mind is nothing but the sum of its contents. Therefore, to break the mind is to break one's identification with its contents. This means separating oneself from all the material within the mind. The mind itself has no name or form, but all names and forms exist within it. He quotes the Niralamba Upanishad, which states that liberation (Moksha) is achieved when, through contemplation on the eternal and the non-eternal, the bondage of attachment to the pleasure and pain of the perishable world is destroyed. The speaker emphasizes that the focus of contemplation should not be on personal gain, such as pleasure or pain, but on attaining the Truth, which he refers to as 'Ram'. When one stops considering pleasure and pain, their hold diminishes, and the attachment to the sense of "mine" also dissolves. You become free from whatever is no longer important to you, and conversely, whatever is important to you is your bondage. Acharya Prashant explains that people tend to give energy and importance to their own bondages, thereby sustaining them. These bondages are often old and weak, ready to break with a single jolt, but we ourselves hold them in place. He illustrates this with an anecdote about a crowd holding up a broken barrier that was meant to control them, simply because it was considered auspicious. We are like that; we support our own bondages, which otherwise have no strength. The path to liberation lies in asking the right questions. Instead of the mind's restless, monkey-like curiosity for trivial things, one should have a seeker's inquiry for liberation. Asking the right question—"Where is the Truth?"—is the path to freedom. Bondage is simply being entangled in wrong and crude questions. He warns against those who implant foolish and irrelevant questions in one's mind, as this is a way to keep one in bondage.
