Acharya Prashant addresses a question about fear, explaining that one is not surrounded by fear but by one's own imagination. He states that many people experience this, where they imagine a terrible consequence for a certain action, such as speaking up or sharing something on social media. This imagination of a negative outcome, like being taunted, is what creates fear. The speaker clarifies that the actions themselves are not inherently dangerous; the danger is a product of the mind's imagination. He advises testing these fears to see if they are real or merely imagined, rather than remaining paralyzed by them. He suggests starting with small experiments where the perceived risk is low, to investigate the reality of the situation and the substance of the apprehension. Using analogies like checking a microphone for electric current or testing water temperature before bathing, he illustrates that we often trust untrustworthy things and fear non-dangerous things due to a lack of inquiry and love for truth. He encourages experimenting to see if the dangers one imagines have any real basis. Responding to a question about the movie "Into the Wild" and escaping to nature, Acharya Prashant explains two layers of bondage: natural and social. Natural bondages like hunger, lust, and anger are part of our DNA and are also found in animals. However, humans face an additional layer of social bondage, making their compulsion double that of animals, as society also dictates their actions. Escaping to nature provides relief from social bondage, which is why people are drawn to it. This state is compared to being like an animal, a drunkard, or a child, who are free from social norms but not truly free. He clarifies that becoming like an animal to escape society is not a complete solution, as one still desires completeness, not animality. The real solution is to find a society and education that frees one from all chains, both natural and social. He mentions that his own learning from nature was about being saved from society's distorted education, not about finding ultimate freedom in nature alone. For the cycle of attachment and lust, he states that the only way out is through "Sankalp" or resolve, a firm decision that "enough is enough." Without this resolve, one remains stuck, as nature itself does not want one to be free. This personal resolve is the first step toward freedom.
