Acharya Prashant addresses the notion of "My life, my rules," which is often associated with the freedom of choice. He explains that when people talk about choice, they are usually referring to the options available in the external world, such as what to eat, which religion to follow, whom to be with, or how to keep one's hair. The underlying philosophy is that a free person must have the right to do as they please. However, the speaker shifts the focus from the choice to the chooser, asking, "Who is making the choice? Is the chooser really free?" He posits that for a chooser to be truly free, they must be unencumbered by prejudices, the past, ideologies, and ignorance. Only with a clear, unburdened, and unblocked eyesight can one have a truly free choice. The common mistake is to focus on the aspect of choice while neglecting the central issue of the chooser. If the chooser is not free, then the freedom of choice becomes a mere feel-good self-delusion. The chooser is enslaved by unknown internal masters and deep conditioning, a situation prevalent among most of mankind. The speaker contrasts the past era of external control by institutions like the monarchy or the church with the current era, which he describes as the tyranny of the internal. The tyrant is no longer outside but sits within, as a part of our ego, controlling us from the inside. Therefore, the real battle for freedom must be internal rather than external. While not dismissing the need for external changes, he emphasizes that the focus must shift to the inner direction, which is the demand of our time. Ultimately, the most important and topical issue is internal freedom, which he calls the "freedom of the chooser." This freedom is attained largely through spiritual means. Spirituality provides the freedom of the chooser, and with that internal freedom, all external choices and actions will naturally be free, and no one will be able to suppress you. Conversely, without the freedom of the chooser, any external freedom of choice is of no avail, as one would only be feeling as if they are free to choose while being controlled by an internal tyrant.
