Acharya Prashant explains that the intellect should not be given permission for certain things. He uses the analogy of a kite to illustrate this point, stating that a thought should be like a kite with one end of its string held by the master. A kite whose string is not in the master's hand is not a free kite but a severed one. As long as the string is held, the kite can soar high in the sky. However, if the kite, like a person, insists on its own freedom, it gets cut off. This leads to the central idea that true liberation is found by choosing the right bondage. There is no such thing as liberation in itself; there are only right or wrong bondages. Since humans are born into the bondage of the body, the quest is not for absolute freedom but for the right kind of slavery. The one who learns to be a proper slave finds freedom within that very slavery. The speaker further elaborates on the hierarchy of existence to determine what is superior. The basis for judging anything as superior or inferior is oneself, the ego. Whatever is truly good for oneself is good for all, and what is bad for oneself is bad for all. He outlines the hierarchy from the gross body to the senses, mind, intellect, and finally the Self (Atma). The gross body is the most inert, followed by the senses which provide raw data. The mind then processes this data to create experiences. The intellect is superior to the mind because it chooses among the various experiences the mind presents. However, the intellect itself can be a great enemy if it is not guided by the right master. Ultimately, the intellect must be a slave to the Self, or Truth, which is beyond the intellect. There should be something so sacred in one's life that the intellect is not even permitted to think about it, as that would be a desecration. This is the right bondage. If the intellect becomes a slave to anything else, which is within the realm of the intellect itself, it leads to self-destruction. Quoting Kabir Saheb, he says, "First, the mind was a crow, committing suicide. Now, the mind has become a swan, picking and eating pearls." This signifies the transformation of the mind when it is bound to the right master.
