Acharya Prashant explains that nothing is more eager to reach somewhere than the mind, and yet, nothing is more afraid of reaching than the mind. There is a deep restlessness in the mind to somehow reach its destination. The very existence of the mind is a race. It is not running in vain; it genuinely wants to reach somewhere. Its restlessness is not false. However, the mind's running is like someone running within a room, hoping to reach somewhere else. There is no lack of effort on its part. The mind is a laborer; it runs and toils a lot. But it is confined by fear, walls, and a lack of faith. The crucial point to understand is that the mind's running itself constitutes its walls. The extent to which the mind runs is the boundary of the mind. The mind is not imprisoned within any other wall. The very race of the mind is its enclosure and its wall. The mind goes as far as it can, and that very limit is its wall. There is no external wall that is stopping the mind. When you start running, the farthest you can go and from where you repeatedly return, that is your wall. You cannot cross it. If you consider the walls to be external, you might think of breaking them with a hammer, but that would be a deception because the wall is not external. The name of the mind's race is the wall. The moment the running stops, you will find there was no wall. My running itself was creating the wall. The way to demolish these walls is to stop the race. The mind runs and runs but doesn't find what it seeks, precisely because it runs so much. Wherever it runs, it is the mind that is running. When the running stops, the thing is right there. The desire for liberation is itself the bondage. The aspiration for liberation has a deep sense that 'I' can become free through my aspiration. But by your wanting, you cannot even be free. The more forcefully you desire liberation, the more you will be bound. Bondage is nothing but the desire for liberation. You don't need the desire for liberation; you need to be free from the one who desires.
