Acharya Prashant explains that the primary duty of one who identifies with the body is to let go of that identification, just as one would drop a heavy burden or a burning coal. He clarifies that Kabir Saheb's teaching to 'give up the body' does not mean committing suicide. In fact, suicide is an act of a worldly person who has deep faith in the reality of the body. True renunciation means letting go of the world created around the body and the constant mental preoccupation with material objects. This liberation must happen in the present moment because the tendency to postpone it until tomorrow is a form of self-deception and a lack of honesty. Postponement is merely a strategy of the mind to maintain its grip on suffering. He further addresses the common question regarding the 'purpose of life' by comparing life to a disease. Just as a disease has no purpose other than to be cured, the only purpose of life—as we know it through restlessness and memories—is liberation from it. This state is referred to as 'Jivanmukti' (liberation while living) or 'Videhmukti' (liberation from the body). Acharya Prashant emphasizes that there is no qualitative difference between the two; Jivanmukti refers to liberation from the subtle mind and thoughts, while Videhmukti refers to liberation from the gross body and matter. Both represent the same state of freedom from the 'I' sense and the illusion of time.
