Acharya Prashant explains that the very existence of suffering and the feeling of bondage within an individual is the ultimate proof that liberation is possible. He argues that if liberation were truly impossible, the soul would not experience the pain of being bound. He cautions against labeling change as 'impossible,' as this is often a deceptive excuse for inaction and a symptom of fear. By calling the truth impossible, one seeks to justify a lack of courage and effort. He emphasizes that while bondages may appear necessary or logical, they are fundamentally unnecessary and must be dissolved. Conversely, truth and liberation are not luxuries or optional additions to life; they are as essential as breath and a heartbeat. Without them, a person may be breathing but is spiritually lifeless, as Kabir Saheb suggests in his verses. Addressing the issues of indecision and inaction, Acharya Prashant clarifies that the problem is rarely a lack of knowledge about the right choice. Most people know what is right but fail to act due to a lack of faith and the presence of fear. He describes 'inaction' as a misnomer, noting that it actually takes a great deal of negative effort and energy to suppress the natural urge to do what is right. This suppression is fueled by fear of loss and a lack of trust in the truth. True faith, he explains, is the conviction to follow the right path despite the fear of consequences or worldly loss. He concludes that one must trust that following the truth can never lead to an inauspicious outcome, regardless of what the calculating mind predicts.
