Acharya Prashant explains that no one can force an individual to do anything unless the individual's internal decision-maker chooses to endure pressure for some perceived profit. Greed arises from a sense of incompleteness or lack within the ego. When someone promises to fulfill that perceived lack, they gain control over the individual. True slavery is not forced from the outside; it is chosen by the individual, often under the guise of seeking future freedom. He emphasizes that if something in life causes suffering, it is a result of one's own choices and actions. To be free from the consequences of past actions, one must drop the identity of the 'doer'. He further clarifies that liberation does not require changing oneself but rather dissolving the false sense of 'I' that claims ownership of actions. Much of what happens in life is accidental, like slipping in a bathroom, yet people attach their entire identity and sense of doership to these events. To be free from the past and its burdens, one must stop claiming ownership of past mistakes and the resulting punishments. Acharya Prashant advises looking for the underlying greed or expectation of results that keeps the 'doer' alive. He suggests a process of continuous letting go, likening it to sweeping a floor; one does not need to choose what to keep, as that which is truly yours and essential will remain, while only the 'trash' or the superficial will be removed. Regular internal cleansing is necessary because even without active effort, the 'dust' of worldly influence accumulates over time.
