Acharya Prashant explains that humans are often possessed by the very objects they seek to possess. Using the example of wealth and relationships, he notes that when one tries to own or enjoy something with a sense of ownership, they inevitably become its slave. He illustrates this with the example of expensive cars and jewelry, where the owner ends up spending their life serving and maintaining the object rather than truly enjoying it. He emphasizes that to be free, one must release the desire to enslave or possess others, as the master is always bound to the slave.
