Acharya Prashant explains that if everything were naturally fine with humans, there would be no need for teachings like the Gita. He states that peace, clarity, and simplicity are not the natural states of man. We have two origins: one is Prakriti (nature/matter), and the other is from somewhere else. Our origin from Prakriti is explained by evolutionists like Darwin; we have evolved from matter, soil, and water. This material nature has no concern for peace or understanding; its game is of atoms, molecules, and survival. However, we are not just matter. There is another element within us, consciousness, which is not physical but is attached to our material body. The speaker uses the metaphor of a bird (consciousness) in a cage (the body/Prakriti). The bird and the cage are born together, and the bird mistakenly believes it can find what it seeks, like peace and freedom, within the cage itself. This is the fundamental delusion. This is why spiritual teachings are necessary—to remind the bird of consciousness that the cage is not its true home and that what it seeks cannot be found in the material realm. The speaker quotes Kabir Saheb, who says, 'O swan, this cage is not yours,' but the swan, accustomed to the cage, doesn't listen. He clarifies that this cage is not external; we are our own cage. The bird and the cage are born together. Therefore, liberation is not about physical escape but an inner transformation. The process begins with recognizing our true, afflicted condition—the daily suffering and emotional turmoil—and understanding that this is not a good life. This self-awareness is the first step towards freedom from the inner cage. The speaker concludes by saying this process requires practice and will not happen quickly.
