You know, the ego fights so many battles. The ego is always surrounded with problems, is it not? Every problem is a battle, right? The ego is always surrounded with problems. Do you know why we love problems? Because they secure us. There are so many problems, and that proves that I exist. And if the problems disappear, then the logic of my existence disappears.

Questioner: Namaskar, namaskar. Sir. You explained that everything in Prakriti is just a process. So ego being a part of Prakriti implies that ego is in itself a process and hence it is deterministic. Maybe the inputs are many, or like millions of inputs that we don't know, but those inputs get translated to some output.
So, in other sessions and also in this session, you also talked about choice, sir, which is the choice to side with truth or falsity.
So I'm confused as to how choice fits into this deterministic process. Is it that it is like, something outside the field of Prakriti that will affect these inputs and, as such, the process? Or is it like... I'm totally confused. Can you shed some light on that, sir?
Acharya Prashant: Did you pay attention that we talked of human beings as seeds rather than pebbles tonight? You remember that? And we said that when you just look at it, even the seed can appear like a small grain of sand or a small pebble, but there is a difference between a human being and a pebble or boulder, which is that the seed has a certain potentiality.
