Acharya Prashant explains that the question should not be how to be non-attached, but rather, how one gets attached in the first place, as that is a far more difficult endeavor. He states that attachment is not cheap; it requires a great deal of investment and energy. It is not a natural state but a high-maintenance affair, like a "white elephant," that demands constant upkeep. Therefore, non-attachment is simple: one just needs to stop the upkeep and block the "funds"—the emotional capital—that are invested in maintaining the attachment. The speaker likens attachment to an investment with negative returns. Not only is the initial investment lost, but it also boomerangs, demanding further investment. This creates a cycle where one continues to pour resources into a "deep well" that never fills, justifying the continued effort by the amount already invested. He emphasizes that life, time, and energy are short, and it is unwise to spend them clinging to things that are perpetually threatening to disappear. He points out that one does not need to be attached to something that is an inalienable part of oneself, such as one's own heart, because it is not going anywhere. In contrast, people feel the need to be attached to things like a mobile phone precisely because they can be lost. The logic becomes that because something threatens to go away, it receives all our time and attention. Conversely, that which is constant and reassuring is taken for granted and neglected. That which troubles us gets our attention, while that which reassures us is ignored. He advises investing in what is lasting, like the heart, which will never abandon you or become obsolete, rather than in transient things that do not deserve such attention.
