Acharya Prashant explains that everything is merely a mental projection or imagination, while the soul is eternally free. He emphasizes that for a wise person, spiritual practice or 'abhyas' is meaningless because the soul is already liberated and beyond the reach of any effort. He critiques the idea of practicing morality, discernment, or penance, stating that these are childish actions for one who understands that all perceived reality is mental. The soul cannot be touched or grasped because there is no duality or distance between the seeker and the sought; just as a finger cannot touch its own tip, the soul cannot be an object of its own perception. He further asserts that the entire world is a product of imagination and that liberation is found by recognizing that whatever flows or changes is not the truth. Acharya Prashant challenges the notion of seeking God or truth as a future achievement, arguing that such efforts are evidence of deep-seated atheism. If the soul is eternally free, there is no question of losing it or finding it. He suggests that people use the excuse of 'seeking' to delay living a life of purity and truth, much like children enjoying a break before a teacher arrives. In reality, the truth is always present and has already 'caught' the individual. Finally, he clarifies that bondage and suffering are self-chosen states. One uses their inherent freedom to declare themselves bound or to indulge in laziness and base habits. No external guru or scripture can force liberation upon someone because the individual is themselves the pure, enlightened soul. Guru-ship is one's own nature, and the play of delusion continues only as long as one permits it. The moment one decides to drop the pretenses and mental constructs, they realize they are the vast sky itself, and there is nothing to be attained or purified.
