Acharya Prashant explains that everything in existence is in a state of constant flow, including the body, time, thoughts, and natural tendencies. This flow occurs without our permission, and while we cannot stop it, we have the power to decide whether to be swept away by it or to remain detached. He notes that people often choose to flow with nature because it offers a pleasure similar to sleep—a state of comfort without consciousness. However, he emphasizes that the peace found in complete wakefulness is far more fulfilling than the comfort of unconsciousness. To stop being swept away, one must introduce something of immense beauty into their life, even though such beauty often demands great courage and risk.
