Acharya Prashant explains that liberation is essentially freedom, which includes the freedom to choose not to be free. He suggests that individuals are already liberated, and it is this inherent freedom that allows them to choose to remain in a state of non-liberation. He notes that while the various experiences of life come with a heavy price or suffering, liberation is freely available, yet often ignored because people tend to value things based on their cost. He further discusses the nature of confusion, asserting that the ability to recognize one's own confusion implies the existence of a part of the self that is not confused. He distinguishes between cognition, which is learned through experience, and freedom, which is innate and prior to all experience. Finally, he differentiates psychology from spirituality, stating that while psychology is limited to the mind, spirituality requires going beyond the mind and the psyche to truly understand them.
