Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is naturally structured to wander, seek, and struggle without ever finding true fulfillment. This restlessness is the inherent nature of the mind, which operates within the three modes of nature. Whether the mind is focused on lower or higher planes, its fundamental movement remains a form of wandering. He points out that the ego often believes it can achieve liberation through its own efforts, skills, and improvements. However, while personal effort and intellect are essential for material success, they are insufficient for spiritual liberation. In the worldly realm, one gains things for oneself, but in spirituality, one seeks freedom from the self. Therefore, the very act of 'trying' to achieve truth becomes an obstacle because it reinforces the ego's sense of doership.
