Acharya Prashant addresses the common human tendency to link one's identity and self-worth to external success, such as clearing an interview or gaining social validation. He explains that when we feel incomplete within ourselves, we become vulnerable to external pressures and events. This sense of inadequacy makes us slaves to anyone or anything that promises to fulfill us. He emphasizes that one must directly face their inner incompleteness, suffering, and insecurities without fear or pretense, rather than hiding behind 'feel-good' factors or false images of success.
