Acharya Prashant explains that certain fundamental aspects like joy, being, freedom, knowing, and truth constitute our basic nature. No one desires to be hated, to live in sorrow, or to die, which indicates that our core essence is rooted in existence and bliss. He emphasizes that fearlessness is not just important but is our inherent nature. However, the world often operates on fear, using laws and punishments to maintain order because people frequently refuse to live by their own understanding or intelligence. He illustrates this with the example of traffic rules, noting that in some cultures, people follow laws out of self-understanding rather than the fear of a policeman's stick.
