Acharya Prashant explains that the desire to control or suppress desires is misguided; instead, one must understand why they exist. Desire arises from a deep-seated feeling of incompleteness and inadequacy within the individual. This sense of being 'little' or 'limited' is fueled by both biological factors and social conditioning, where messages from family, education, and industry constantly urge us to become something more, thereby validating our perceived lack. This identification with incompleteness leads to a life driven by motivation, ambition, and the constant urge to acquire, which is essentially a form of internal misery and slavery. He further clarifies that freedom is not something to be acquired from the outside, as it is innate and existential. Humans suffer because they have unnecessarily added layers of slavery and bondage to their natural state of freedom. This slavery persists only because we actively supply it with energy and support. To find peace, one does not need to seek freedom but must instead stop inviting and sustaining slavery. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that our energy and time are limited and should not be invested in our own destruction or in maintaining artificial bondages that cause suffering.
