Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of being influenced by numerous voices offering advice for a better life. He asserts that one should not feel obligated to follow something just because the person giving the advice holds a certain authority. The advice must be weighed on its own merit, irrespective of its source. He extends this principle to politics, stating that if political parties do not present great manifestos, it is because the voters are not yet ready for greatness. The election manifesto of a political party is not just a reflection of its ideology but more so a reflection of the electorate to whom it is being served. An illuminated manifesto will not get support from a dark audience. He further explains that what we demand depends on who we are, emphasizing that the self is the center of all things. Whether it's the leaders we choose, the politics we produce, the mind we exhibit, or the economy we run, everything depends on the quality of the self. Therefore, the first step is the education of the electorate. When the audience is educated in these matters, they will force the parties to elevate their election manifestos. He also touches upon parenting, questioning if parents have given birth to themselves before giving birth to a child. He advises parents to be circumspect and take great care of their inner self, as whatever they do will have a bearing on their child. Acharya Prashant identifies spirituality as the most important line of defense against any mental disorder, calling it another name for mental health. He clarifies that spirituality is not religious mumbo-jumbo but simply living with a particular attention and self-remembrance, not just being chemically reactive. It is about understanding the truth of things as they really are, which restores sanity. He advises young people to delay commitment as much as possible and to remain experimental, as the person committed to the Truth cannot be easily committed to anything in the world. He warns against creating obligations, as the world enslaves people through their own pleasures and greeds. The things we take from the world for our pleasure become the chains that hold us. He concludes by stating that we are hungry for something else, but we settle for a feeble, borrowed hunger for things that are easily available and mass-consumed, which is small compared to what we truly deserve.
