Acharya Prashant explains that all individuals are like Arjun, trapped in their emotions, past, and physical existence, which necessitates the eternal wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. He defines the yogi as one whose actions do not bind him, contrasting this with the common state of human bondage. This bondage is twofold: first, actions are not free at their inception because they are programmed by external stimuli, genetics, and conditioning, much like a machine or a chemical reaction. Second, humans are bound by an attachment to the results of their actions, always acting out of a sense of incompleteness or hunger, hoping to find fulfillment in the future.
