Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding anxiety and hyperhidrosis by emphasizing that while physiological conditions may require medical advice, one's internal state is a matter of choice. He explains that humans have no control over many external circumstances, such as birth, death, or natural disasters, but they possess the ultimate authority to choose what they care for and what they ignore. He asserts that if an individual cannot ignore the trivialities of life, they will become enslaved by them. He encourages viewing the body as an outsider, much like an external virus, and maintaining internal freedom by not giving consent to be ruled by physical sensations or conditions. Acharya Prashant highlights that the defining characteristic of human consciousness is the power to choose and not be ruled by physical instincts. He uses the example of great athletes like Roger Federer, who played through physical pain, and the practice of fasting to demonstrate how humans can lord over their bodies. He argues that being ruled by hunger or fatigue is characteristic of animals, whereas humans must use the body as a vehicle for the purposes of consciousness rather than letting the body become the ruler. He concludes that one must decide whether to use the body or be used by it, urging the listener to prioritize their own goals over bodily comfort or fear.
