Acharya Prashant explains that freedom is not something to be attained or searched for externally; rather, it is the inherent nature of every individual. He uses metaphors like the sun asking about brightness or a bird asking about flight to illustrate that people are already free but remain unaware of it. He points out that this lack of awareness stems from looking outward for validation or answers instead of looking inward. By recalling the uninhibited nature of childhood, he demonstrates that humans are born unconditionally free, but they gradually impose conditions and limitations on themselves as they grow, often influenced by the expectations and instructions of others.
