Acharya Prashant begins by discussing the concept of a spiritual journey being a race for profit. He uses the analogy of a shopkeeper who is always looking to sell goods for a profit. A year ago, the shopkeeper's tendency was to sell for profit, and today it is the same. The goods may have changed, but the shopkeeper remains the same. Similarly, if one brings spirituality into their life but remains unchanged, then spirituality is just another commodity in their life's shop. He explains that spiritual literature does not forbid the concepts of buying and selling but gives them a higher meaning. Instead of selling goods to others, one must sell oneself. There is only one to whom one must sell oneself, becoming their slave. This is not like the worldly slave markets where the one with money buys you. Here, one must sell oneself to the Master. This is the true deal. He references a story about Kabir Saheb's wife being asked to trade her body for groceries, and another about Lord Buddha offering his own flesh to save a goat, illustrating the principle of self-sacrifice and dealing with the ultimate. Acharya Prashant elaborates on this concept of surrender by quoting Kabir Saheb: "Kabir is the dog of Ram, Motiya is my name. Wherever Ram pulls the leash, there I go." He explains that those who think they are masters of their own will are actually slaves to their inner conditioning and the world. True mastery comes from willingly becoming a slave to the right one. The one who appears to be a slave, like Kabir, is the real master. He is happy in this state and does not want the leash to be removed, because if a dog is left to its own will, it will indulge in base activities like eating leftovers or fighting with other dogs. He contrasts two kinds of relationships with Ram (a metaphor for spirituality or Truth). The first is becoming Ram's dog, which is a state of complete and joyful surrender. The second is treating Ram as a toy, as described by Kabir: "People have known Ram as a toy." They use Ram for their entertainment, to boost their ego, or to fulfill their vested interests. This is evident when people avoid spiritual sessions during religious festivals, claiming they are busy with religious activities like buying jewelry or sweets. This shows they treat religion as a commodity, not a path to truth. The speaker concludes by stating that the choice is not between freedom and slavery, but between right slavery (to Truth) and wrong slavery (to the world). To be free, one must choose the right slavery.
