Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to reclaim happiness by first pointing out that the question itself is asked from a state of unhappiness. He explains that one cannot reclaim a higher happiness while continuing to clutch the lower one. The very act of asking, "How do I be happy?" confirms one's current state is unhappiness, and this unhappiness is being clutched. Using a hand gesture, he illustrates someone fiercely clutching unhappiness while innocently asking how to be happy. The solution, he suggests, is to first relax this grip. Once the clutching stops, the unhappiness itself is gone, and there is no need to talk about finding happiness. The speaker elaborates that one cannot embrace higher happiness if they have already embraced lower forms of happiness, which are essentially unhappiness. These lower states do not come uninvited; one cooperates with them. To find true happiness, one must withdraw this cooperation and consent. He uses the analogy of an embrace: the energy you put into embracing the lowly ones is reciprocated. If you hug them tightly, they hug you back just as tightly. Therefore, one must first relax their own embrace, and the lowly ones will retreat. The energy in their embrace is just a reciprocal of the energy you put into embracing them. Do not claim to be a victim; you are a cooperator. Further, Acharya Prashant discusses the nature of the mind and duality. The mind has a tendency to conclude immediately. The practice is to pause and question if what appears is complete as it seems. Most of the time, the appearance is deceptive, and there is more to the thing than what is immediately apparent. This practice is most useful with the things that are most appealing, such as passion, attraction, and revulsion. When one asks how to find a solution using the same problematic faculty (the mind), it is unwise. The first step is to stop relying on that faculty. The ego loves action and fears stopping. The right way is not to ask "how to do this," but "how to not do this." The alternative is to stop. Action that comes from non-action is the greatest action. Finally, the speaker addresses the concept of surrender. He states that the usual person cannot surrender because they are already mortgaged to countless things. One must first rebel against these false masters to become free enough to surrender. Therefore, his message is one of rebellion, not surrender. Only when rebellion reaches a certain maturity does one become eligible to surrender. He clarifies that truth or fullness is not a state, as all states belong to the incomplete one. When incompleteness is dropped, there is no one left to have a state. The word "constant" is also relative; it requires something changing to be measured against. Since nothing exists apart from the Truth, it cannot be called constant. The path is an eternal process of elimination, and one should not seek an endpoint, as the more one eliminates, the more one benefits.
