Acharya Prashant explains the difference between choosing the path of liberation (mukti) and the path of indulgence (bhog). He uses the analogy of physical exercise versus eating pizza to illustrate his point. Liberation is the opposite of immediate gratification. When you do abdominal exercises, it feels like your life is ruined in that moment, but you feel better in the morning. Conversely, pizza tastes good at the moment, but you realize its negative effects the next morning. The speaker humorously notes that the smile on the pizza at night leads to piles in the morning. He defines indulgence as the feeling of having fun, while liberation feels like your life is being drained out. Responding to a question about why the mind always runs towards indulgence instead of liberation, Acharya Prashant states that the hallmark of liberation is that it will always break something. We all settle comfortably into our routines, which are routines of death. Using the gross example of the body, he explains that the body's shape is a routine. An average person's body is neither an indicator of health nor beauty, yet it doesn't cause any immediate inconvenience, so one remains comfortable in it. This is the misfortune of human life: one can be comfortable even without health or beauty. However, to bring health and beauty to the body, one must endure the pain of exercise. This pain is the sign of liberation, as liberation always breaks something. In contrast, putting pizza into the same stomach is indulgence; it has neither health nor beauty but provides convenience, taste, and a superficial sense of peace. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that liberation is not about being free from external suffering but about gaining the capacity to endure it while remaining peaceful within. A liberated person constantly seeks higher challenges. When the pain of a particular exercise subsides, they ask their trainer for the next level. The goal is to become capable of bearing increasing external hardships while maintaining inner peace. He quotes Sant Kabir, who said, "The beloved is not found through laughter; those who have found him have cried." The path of liberation is not one of laughter but of gritting your teeth and persevering. The speaker contrasts the worldly person, who sets a target to stop and rest, with a lover (of Truth), who has no target because the journey itself is the joy. The lover doesn't set a target because that would mean stopping, and they want to continue the action infinitely.
