Acharya Prashant explains that human interests and visions are not original but are products of external influences and sensory inputs accumulated over time. He uses the analogy of a person born deaf to illustrate that without hearing words, one would have no language to speak or even to form imagination. Everything we claim as our own interest is merely a pile of information that has been built up and recycled through the hardware and software of the brain, which is itself a product of conditioning and environment. We are essentially programmed like a computer software that accepts or rejects inputs based on pre-defined variables, a process he identifies as the network of Maya.
