Acharya Prashant explains that the world we experience is a direct reflection of our internal state. He asserts that there is no single objective world; rather, there are infinite parallel worlds, and the one we inhabit is determined by who we are. When people complain about jealousy or lack of respect from others, they fail to realize that they are receiving exactly what corresponds to their own being. He emphasizes that what we call 'environment' is actually our experience of it, which depends entirely on the experiencer. While physical sensations like heat are shared at the bodily level because humans have similar biological structures, the meaning we assign to those sensations and our reactions to them are individual and subjective. He further discusses how our core tendencies or 'vrittis' use external circumstances as excuses to fulfill hidden desires. For instance, a person hesitant to meet someone might use rain as a convenient justification for not going. Acharya Prashant argues that trying to change others through verbal instruction or self-centered persuasion is a futile endeavor that results in failure for both parties. True change in others occurs only when they see a living example of a different way of being. He uses the metaphor of flight, stating that instead of telling someone to fly while remaining seated yourself, you must fly to demonstrate that it is possible. Your own transformation and 'flight' serve as a testament to the shared potential of humanity, inspiring others to realize their own capabilities without the need for direct interference.
