Acharya Prashant explains that the desire to possess or enjoy worldly objects inevitably leads to becoming their slave. Using the example of wealth and relationships, he points out that those who believe they are the masters of their possessions, such as expensive cars or jewelry, are often the ones serving those objects through constant maintenance and worry. He emphasizes that if one wishes to be free, they must release the desire to own or control others, as the master is always bound to the slave. True freedom comes from liberating those we attempt to possess. Discussing spiritual knowledge, Acharya Prashant clarifies that the state of a self-realized person is beyond the duality of knowing and not knowing. Since all conventional knowledge involves a subject and an object within the realm of the mind and nature, a true sage transcends these categories. He notes that scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads focus on the 'doer' or the 'knower' rather than external symptoms. He asserts that the essence of all great teachers, whether Shri Krishna or the sages of the Upanishads, is the same unified consciousness that reveals the truth. Regarding the concept of 'Vidya' (knowledge) and 'Amritam' (immortality), he explains that while ignorance keeps one bound to the cycle of birth and death in nature, true knowledge allows one to transcend these boundaries. This transcendence is immortality, where one realizes they were never born and thus cannot die. He also addresses the nature of Zen Koans, explaining that they are designed to shock and destabilize the mind rather than provide logical conclusions. The purpose of spirituality is to break the stubbornness and patterns of the mind, leading to a state where one is no longer caught in the causal web of the world.
