Acharya Prashant explains that the mobile phone itself is not the problem; rather, the issue lies in how it is used and the quality of one's company. He points out that if a person is constantly distracted by notifications from friends, it indicates that they have not chosen their friends with care. The phone merely reflects the reality of one's contacts and life. If the people around you send senseless or irrelevant content, the real problem is the company you keep, not the technology. He emphasizes that understanding others requires self-awareness, which comes from a spiritual orientation. When a person knows themselves, they can better read others and avoid letting the wrong people become intimate. This is particularly important for young women, who have more at stake. Instead of being desperate for human company, one should focus on meaningful pursuits such as reading, sports, music, or travel. By becoming absorbed in something higher and more beautiful, petty distractions naturally vanish because one no longer has time for them.
