Acharya Prashant explains that any external action will inevitably require effort. True effortlessness, he clarifies, is a state of the mind. An effortless mind is one that is free from unnecessary conflict. Mental effort, on the other hand, arises from being entangled in numerous thoughts and options. Even a simple act like speaking a word requires external effort and energy. The speaker quotes "Udyamo Bhairavah" from the Shiva Sutras, interpreting it as a meaningful effort. He contrasts two kinds of actions: those driven by a restless mind, which are aimed at acquiring things from the world, and those that come from a calm, effortless mind. When the mind is calm, as implied by "Udyamo Bhairavah," there is no compulsion to acquire. Actions are then performed not for accumulation but for cleaning the already accumulated dirt. What is truly valuable is already present within, so there is nothing to be gained from the outside. A restless mind makes efforts to acquire, whereas a calm mind's efforts are directed towards cleaning. A calm mind has no interest in acquisition. Thoughts are energized by a restless mind. External stimuli act as seeds for thoughts, but they only grow if the mind provides fertile ground. If the mind is already filled with mischief, even a small seed can grow into a large tree. The difference between individuals lies in their mind's fundamental tendencies and whether they are clean. Cleaning the mind requires effort, especially if a lot of garbage has accumulated. He uses the analogy of a mouse in a trap: the mouse is trapped only as long as it identifies as a mouse and is attracted to the bait. The moment one realizes their true nature is not that of a mouse, the worldly temptations lose their power. The speaker asserts that what is commonly called respect is actually fear. The relationship of respect is one of fear. Love, conversely, is natural and arises from a calm, clean state of being, beyond the mind. Respect is an artificial, man-made concept.
