Acharya Prashant explains that fear arises from our dependency on the world and the constant thought of losing what we have borrowed. He suggests that the world can only terrify an individual if they are dependent on it. To overcome fear, one must identify and return what has been taken from the world, which simultaneously helps in discovering what is rightfully and originally one's own. He emphasizes that the more one asks from others, the more they allow others to interfere in their life. Therefore, reducing needs and dependencies is essential to ending slavery to the world and finding freedom from fear. Regarding the search for the purpose of life and happiness, Acharya Prashant clarifies that happiness is not something that can be obtained from external sources like parties, shopping malls, or social gatherings. He critiques the common tendency to 'paste' a smile on one's face for social exhibition, noting that real happiness is not a commodity to be distributed or sold. He compares happiness to health, describing it as a natural state that exists when one is free from the 'disease' of societal teachings and mental burdens. He asserts that nothing external 'gives' happiness; rather, it is the state of being free from infantile rubbish and unnecessary dependencies. Acharya Prashant concludes that happiness is found in the act of giving up what makes a person heavy, dull, or frustrated. He likens this to giving up a headache or a disease, which is not a scary process but a liberating one. Instead of searching for happiness as a tangible goal or mission, one should focus on dropping false hopes and external dependencies. This simple and direct act of letting go of what is not yours is the essence of true happiness and peace.
