Acharya Prashant addresses the common argument that human beings are merely products of their circumstances and upbringing. He acknowledges that during childhood, an individual is defenseless and lacks a developed intellect, making it inevitable that they absorb various beliefs, social conditioning, and concepts about life, money, and religion from their environment. This past conditioning is unavoidable and cannot be changed. However, he emphasizes that while the past is fixed, the present moment offers a different reality for an adult who now possesses consciousness and intellect.
