Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether liberation is an instantaneous event or a gradual process. He begins by stating that it is a process that takes time and will continue as long as one is alive. He cautions against the misconception of a sudden, miraculous liberation, emphasizing that one should not console themselves with the idea that a miracle will happen. Effort is indispensable. He explains a paradox: while the process takes time, the more time one takes, the worse it is for them, as it only prolongs their suffering. Therefore, one should not use the gradual nature of the process as an excuse for procrastination. The speaker clarifies that there is no final point of liberation where one can declare themselves completely free. One must remain continuously vigilant because the enemy, Maya, resides within the body and is always present. He defines 'Saavdhan' (vigilant) as 'Sa-avdhan,' meaning 'with attention' or 'with observation.' To be vigilant is to be attentive, and this is necessary because the enemy—the body-ego—is always with you. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that complete liberation is not possible as long as the body exists, because Maya is inherent to it. However, the mind can be trained to be in a state of constant, loving vigilance, which becomes its very nature. This state of vigilance is also called love. The enemy is not eliminated, but one's vigilance becomes a deep-seated habit. Liberation is an infinite process, not a destination to be reached. The purpose of aiming for the infinite is to dissolve the ego in the process. Ultimately, as long as the body exists, Maya exists. Thus, there is no final liberation, but rather a continuous process of deepening liberation and samadhi.
