Acharya Prashant clarifies that no authentic Hindu scripture suggests that human actions are predestined or controlled by Brahman. He dismisses such ideas as figments of popular culture and fatalism, asserting that Vedanta has nothing to do with these concepts. He explains that as an individual, you are the ego, and the defining characteristic of the ego is the ability to choose. He emphasizes that humans are not operated by a remote control from another realm; rather, they are condemned to be choosing agencies. Even the belief that one has no choice is itself a choice made by the individual. Acharya Prashant warns against the tendency to attribute wrong choices or suffering to God or destiny. He states that while random events can cause pain, suffering is always a result of wrong choices. He describes Advaita Vedanta as a philosophy of immense power that removes feelings of victimhood, fragility, and fear. He concludes by stating that Vedanta is the core of all religiosity and the very essence of spirituality, asserting that anyone who is truly religious is a Vedanti at heart, regardless of whether they have studied the texts.
