Acharya Prashant begins by explaining a verse from the Niralamba Upanishad, which states that even the thought of attaining liberation is a form of bondage. He elaborates that any person, at any time, in any place, and in any action, is doing nothing but seeking liberation (Moksha). Whether one is writing with a pen, sitting behind a camera, walking on grass, riding a bicycle, eating, or singing, every action is a search for liberation. You don't need anything else. The speaker addresses the apparent contradiction that when people engage in these activities, they are not consciously thinking about liberation. He clarifies that he stands by his statement. He defines liberation as freedom from bondage. Bondage, in turn, is anything that obstructs one's natural state or limits one's infinite nature. It is the suffering that arises from this limitation. Desire arises only when one is in distress or feels a sense of incompleteness. Therefore, every desire, regardless of its form, color, or direction, is fundamentally a desire for freedom from bondage, which is liberation. If you were already free, no desire would arise in you. All our actions are driven by desire, and desire is fundamentally for liberation. Despite this constant search, liberation is not attained. The reason is that the effort is being made by the 'I', and this 'I' itself is the bondage. You want to attain liberation through your own methods, but your method itself is bondage. You are trying to attain liberation through the means of bondage, which only increases the bondage. The speaker uses the analogy of a tangled ball of wool: if you, the one who tangled it, try to untangle it, you will only make it more tangled. The resolution to attain liberation is itself bondage. This is because the one who resolves is the ego, which is the root of the problem. He further explains this using the analogy of wax and a spring. The body and mind are like wax; they can be molded and conditioned by external circumstances. However, the Self (Atma) is like a spring; it cannot be permanently changed or impressed upon. The problem is that we identify with the wax (the body-mind). The solution is to remember that you are not the wax. You don't need to choose to be a spring; you just need to remember that you are not the wax. This is the essence of spirituality and witnessing. The spiritual person is one who is loyal to the Truth and is therefore disloyal to the rest of the world. They do not seek to settle down in any false certainty, but remain in a state of constant inquiry.
