Acharya Prashant distinguishes between being common and being ordinary. Commonness is a social phenomenon and a curse where individuals strive for extraordinariness, which ironically makes them common because everyone is doing the same. In contrast, ordinariness is a blessing and represents the essential, all-pervasive state to which nothing has been added. The mind often rejects ordinariness because it seeks doership and achievement, yet true peace is found only when one is content in their ordinariness and recognizes that things are wonderful as they are.
