Acharya Prashant explains that individuals often possess an inherent awareness of their mistakes at the very moment they are committing them. He argues that the common claim of only realizing a mistake after the consequences manifest is a form of self-deception. In reality, the knowledge of the error is present from the beginning, but it is suppressed or ignored due to the hope of achieving a pleasurable outcome or a specific desire. We choose not to acknowledge what we already know because doing so would require us to stop the action we are currently enjoying or pursuing.
