Acharya Prashant explains that truth is synonymous with freedom and is the natural, fundamental state of being. While truth is omnipresent and everlasting, the mind loses its freedom when it moves away from truth. This distance is created by the mind's tendency to remember and accumulate information, knowledge, and identities. He clarifies that true relaxation, as experienced in deep sleep, is actually freedom from memory and mental activity. In deep sleep, one forgets both pleasures and pains, as well as worldly concepts of gods, which only exist in the waking state of consciousness.
