Acharya Prashant explains that the significance we attribute to various things in life is not inherent to the objects themselves but is a product of our mental conditioning and importance-giving. He points out that during deep sleep, one effortlessly lets go of all possessions, identities, and relationships, finding peace in their absence. In sleep, there is no distinction between a billionaire and a beggar, or a man and a woman, because the mind has temporarily ceased to value these labels. This proves that the mind is capable of existing without these attachments and that their perceived necessity is only a habit of the waking state.
