Acharya Prashant explains that relaxation is not something to be achieved through effort or action, as the very act of 'doing' often stems from a sense of lack and leads to tension. He illustrates this with the analogy of a person searching outside for a diamond that is actually inside their own home; the more they search externally, the more they wander and suffer. True relaxation is found by stopping the search and remaining still. He points out the irony of people becoming stressed while trying to find ways to relax, such as getting a heart attack over a missing train ticket for a vacation. This happens because people mistakenly believe that relaxation is a destination to be reached through specific actions rather than a state of being. He emphasizes that tension does not arrive on its own; it is invited and held onto because of a false belief that it is beneficial or a sign of sincerity. Society often reinforces this by criticizing those who remain calm before a challenge, like an exam, while praising those who are visibly stressed as 'serious' or 'sincere.' Acharya Prashant clarifies that this is a lie and that tension is entirely useless. Understanding and peace are only possible in a state of tranquility, not in a mind filled with the noise of thoughts and imaginary conflicts. He concludes that one must drop the ego and the belief that tension is a necessary engine for action, trusting instead that things can be right through peace and surrender.
