Acharya Prashant explains that the feeling of fearlessness is often misunderstood because it is fundamentally based on the presence of fear. He describes fearlessness as a form of relief, which can only exist if there is prior suffering or distress. Seeking fearlessness is, in essence, seeking the continuation of fear so that one can enjoy the temporary comfort of its removal. He compares this to applying ointment to a wound; the pleasant sensation of the ointment is only possible because of the pain of the injury. True health, however, is a state where there is no specific sensation of 'good' or 'bad' because there is no injury to begin with. The speaker points out that the ego derives strength from these cycles of fear and relief. When a person overcomes fear through some method or effort, the ego feels accomplished, claiming it has fixed a problem. This is often labeled as 'confidence' or 'fearlessness,' but it is merely covering one experience with another. Acharya Prashant suggests that a truly fearless life is one where fear is not an issue at all. He uses the example of a dog on the street: when it is simply walking, fear is not a subject; but when it acts aggressively toward others, that violence is actually rooted in hidden fear. True fearlessness is not a display of courage or an attack on fear, but a state of naturalness where fear ceases to be a central theme or concern in one's life.
