Acharya Prashant explains that the human condition is much like that of Arjun, trapped in emotions, past experiences, and physical attachments, which leads to a forgetfulness of one's true duty. He asserts that as long as this internal conflict exists, the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita remains essential and immortal. Addressing the nature of the mind, he confirms that the entire personality—including likes, dislikes, attitudes, and even the body—is a borrowed phenomenon and an external influence. He clarifies that the true self is not the personality, but the quality of attention and intelligence that is capable of observing these external influences. This observer cannot itself be an external influence.
