Acharya Prashant explains that individuals are unnecessarily caught in the false and must drop it to experience true life. He defines the act of dropping the false as a form of death that leads to a total, immense, and loving existence. He asserts that when the current version of life ends, real life begins. In the current state, life is botched because the individual ego attempts to live it, whereas in true life, life itself lives, making it the most beautiful of lives. Acharya Prashant further describes the current life as an illusion that is subject to beginning and ending, while true life simply is. He highlights the reality of human existence, which is often marked by continuous tension and a lack of calmness or fulfillment. He observes that people exist in a state of desperation, constantly cringing for something or trying to reach somewhere. He suggests that if this state of tension is what one calls life, then that life must die for the truth to be realized.
