Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the term 'end' in the context of spiritual liberation does not refer to a point in time, but rather to the highest peak or the ultimate height, similar to the meaning of 'Vedanta' as the pinnacle of the Vedas. He clarifies that serving the 'Master' means not serving the world. Since the mind must attach itself to something, it should move toward the Master to avoid being enslaved by worldly desires, likes, dislikes, or the duality of pleasure and pain. Ultimately, even the concept of the Master falls away, leaving only emptiness or the void. This state of being unaffected by pleasure or pain is what is called bliss, which can only be defined negatively as the absence of mental burdens. He emphasizes that serving the Master is a means to liberation, not an attachment to a person, idea, or temple. It signifies a state where one is no longer a slave to the world but plays in it without the fear of gaining or losing. Acharya Prashant highlights the wisdom of saints who describe the ultimate state not as 'attaining' something, but as 'releasing' or 'leaving' everything. True liberation, or Nirvana, is the complete extinguishing of the self and the world. One begins by letting go of easy things, then people, and finally the 'ego' or the one who is doing the letting go. This total emptiness and freedom from burdens is our true nature.
