Acharya Prashant explains that action is unavoidable for everyone, but the crucial factor is the source of that action—whether it arises from unconsciousness or desirelessness. He defines debt as something borrowed for a specific purpose, intended to be used correctly and eventually returned. He asserts that human life itself is a fundamental debt. The body, time, and intellect are not earned assets but borrowed resources given to an individual to fulfill a specific task. Since these resources are not one's own, they must be utilized for their intended purpose and returned within an unknown timeframe. The speaker compares human existence to an entrepreneur who has received funding but is unaware of its purpose. Instead of using the funding of life for liberation, people often waste it on personal indulgence. He emphasizes that the only way to repay this existential debt is through the right use of resources for the sake of liberation. When one uses their life to achieve freedom, they become debt-free, experiencing the joy and lightness of a bird in flight. Conversely, treating borrowed resources like the body or intellect as personal property leads to bondage and suffering. Acharya Prashant clarifies that traditional concepts like debt to parents or sages are secondary to the primary debt of life. By fulfilling the debt to the source of existence or the Self, all other debts are automatically settled. He uses the metaphor of a bird's wings to illustrate that life's resources are merely a burden if they are not used to achieve the flight of liberation. Repaying the debt results in a state of freedom known as liberation while living, where one is no longer weighed down by the reminders of unpaid existential obligations.
