Acharya Prashant explains that greatness is not something to be achieved in the future but is a way of living in the present moment. Using the story of two students eating rice, he illustrates that while their external actions were identical, their internal states differed. One student performed the simple act of eating and washing his bowl with a sense of greatness and presence, while the other did not. He emphasizes that greatness lies in the quality of one's being and how one performs ordinary tasks like drinking tea or eating a biscuit. When a person is truly 'special' within, every action they perform becomes special, yet they appear completely ordinary and simple to the world, a state referred to as 'Nirvishesh' or being without specific distinctions. He further discusses the concept of freedom, critiquing the common understanding of it as 'freedom from' something or 'freedom for' a specific desire. Such freedom is always relative, conditional, and often becomes a burden or an excuse for laziness and ego-driven behavior. True freedom is absolute and not dependent on external circumstances, political rights, or the ability to fulfill personal whims. It is the very environment or light in which one can clearly see and recognize bondage for what it is. Acharya Prashant asserts that freedom is the primary value because even the act of knowing requires freedom. However, this real freedom is a state of lightness where even the thought of attaining freedom is absent, and one responds appropriately to the situation at hand without being driven by past conditioning or future goals.
