Acharya Prashant explains that the fear of disappearing or losing oneself stems from a deep-seated desire for the eternal. He points out that every night during sleep, individuals willingly let go of their identity, possessions, and relationships, experiencing a state where differences between a billionaire and a beggar, or a man and a woman, vanish. This daily act of renunciation proves that the mind inherently knows these worldly attachments are not essential. The sense of suffering and the perception of diversity arise only upon waking, driven by mental conditioning and social programming. He further clarifies that the world appears fragmented because we assign varying degrees of importance to things based on our upbringing, environment, and education. When we give special significance to one thing, we automatically marginalize another, creating boundaries and divisions. Spirituality, according to him, is the art of seeing the underlying unity even while the senses perceive differences. Just as the sky remains the same regardless of changing weather, one should remain unaffected by the dualities of pleasure and pain. While the mind and senses will continue to perceive variety, these perceptions should not be powerful enough to disturb one's natural state of being.
