Acharya Prashant explains that most people are not mere observers of life but are instead slavish participants with deep personal stakes. While spiritual literature often describes life as a game, this perspective is only true for those who are genuinely detached. For the common person, life is a serious and tragic struggle driven by internal hollowness and a sense of incompleteness. He emphasizes that it is not the game itself that needs to end, but one's unhealthy and dependent relationship with it. True freedom comes from a state of total, joyful fullness where no relationship based on deficiency is possible.
