Acharya Prashant explains that confidence and fear are two sides of the same coin, asserting that only those who are afraid seek confidence. He distinguishes between 'Abhayta' (fearlessness as a reaction to fear) and 'Nirbhayta' (true fearlessness), where the latter signifies a state beyond the duality of fear and confidence. He argues that the more a situation frightens a person, the more confidence they feel they need, making confidence a form of armor or aggression used to hide inner fear. True fearlessness, according to him, is a state where the thought of fear does not even arise because one is established in their natural self. He further critiques societal institutions for encouraging confidence rather than true fearlessness. He suggests that society wants individuals to remain fearful so they can be controlled, while simultaneously teaching them to wear a mask of confidence to hide that fear. Acharya Prashant advises seeking naturalness and stillness instead of confidence. He describes a truly fearless person as one who is calm, stable, and free from expectations or anxieties, rather than being aggressive or sharp. He concludes that since confidence itself is a flawed concept rooted in fear, distinctions like self-confidence and over-confidence are irrelevant; one should simply strive to be fearless and natural.
