Acharya Prashant explains that understanding has no specific practical application because it transforms the very state of the individual. Just as health improves every action a person performs rather than serving one specific task, true understanding changes the flavor and quality of everything one does, from mundane chores to complex relationships. When one acts from a state of awareness, actions like walking, eating, or loving lose their mechanical nature and gain a sense of liveliness and clarity. He emphasizes that understanding is not a tool to be used but a state of being that naturally reflects in one's conduct. Regarding the concept of confidence, Acharya Prashant asserts that confidence is essentially a companion of fear. In a natural, relaxed, and peaceful state, a person does not feel 'confident'; they simply feel easy and normal. Confidence only arises when there is a perceived threat or a need to defend oneself, acting as a psychological armor. He points out that confidence implies conflict and strife, as one feels the need to be confident 'against' something or someone. True freedom and love do not require confidence; they require an easy, free-flowing presence that is devoid of the tension inherent in both fear and confidence.
