Acharya Prashant discusses the first verse of the ninth chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, focusing on the concept of 'Avrati'—one who is free from vows, resolutions, and the conflict of duties. He explains that the conflict between what is performed and what is not performed exists only for the mind in its waking state. He points out that in deep sleep, all duties, pride, and shame vanish, proving that these concepts are not absolute realities but mental constructs. Our world, he argues, exists only in a fraction of our consciousness, while in dreams, we create an alternative reality to fulfill unexpressed desires.
