Acharya Prashant addresses the challenge of responding to life's situations when one is burdened by conditioning and blocked energy. He explains that conditioning does not enter the mind by force or with a warning; rather, it enters under the guise of being helpful, safe, or pleasurable. The mind selectively stores experiences it deems important for security or pleasure, and these stored memories eventually become the very conditioning that limits a person's spontaneity. He warns that any new 'method' or 'way' to respond would itself become a new form of conditioning, as it would be stored in the memory as another helpful tool, thereby increasing the mental load.
