How to know what is right and what is wrong? || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2014)
Listener: Who discretes ‘what is wrong’ and ‘what is right?’ People have a different perception of what is right and something is better.
Acharya Prashant: Right. Very good. What is your name?
L: Apoorva.
AP: Sit, Apoorva. Apoorva it is very good that you are questioning a deep assumption. The assumption of morality that ‘what is right’ and ‘what is wrong?’ You have gone many steps ahead but still, you stopped, you are not completing the journey. You must not only ask, “Acharya Ji, who decides what is right and what is wrong? You can go a step ahead, a step further and ask, “Whether there anything right and anything wrong?” You still have belief that there is something ‘right’ and there is something ‘wrong,’ right?
You are believing in that, right? I am asking you, “Why must you believe in that?” You have limited your question. You are saying that there is something ‘right’ and something ‘wrong’ but who will decide that? Your question is limited to this part that who will decide that ‘what is right’ and ‘what is wrong.’ I’m saying broaden your question take one more step. Ask, whether there anything called ‘*right*‘ and ‘wrong?’ Can you ask this question? Do you want me to broaden it?
