Acharya Prashant explains that the core of human bondage is craving, and its cessation is liberation. He emphasizes that the mind is not an independent entity but a collection of subjects that the ego clings to. When an object is given personal meaning by the ego, it becomes a 'subject' or 'vishay', leading to attachment. He clarifies that liberation is not a one-time event but a continuous process of alertness, as the physical body and its natural tendencies (prakriti) persist as long as one is alive. True liberation involves seeing through the 'subjective' meanings we project onto the world and returning objects to their simple status as objects.
