Acharya Prashant explains that the great fortune of being human is the ability to live not just among those physically present, but also with the consciousness of great sages, rishis, and philosophers who have passed away. While animals are limited to physical presence because they are merely bodies, humans are consciousness, which is immortal. He encourages living with the wisdom of Shri Krishna or Ashtavakra to overcome loneliness and doubt. He notes that human life is invaluable because it offers the unique opportunity for liberation from bonds, suggesting that one should find solace in books and wisdom rather than relying solely on physical companionship. He critiques modern culture and media for promoting the idea that fulfillment only comes from physical relationships, labeling this as ignorance.
