Acharya Prashant responds to a question about a line from a Kabir bhajan, "Childhood was wasted in play." He explains that this statement points to an accounting error in how we perceive our lifespan. We count our total age, for instance, as 60 or 70 years, but then argue that the first 20 years are naturally meant for play and are thus wasted. Acharya Prashant clarifies that if those initial years are considered wasted by default, then at the age of 60, one should state their age as 40. He says that Kabir Saheb would not have needed to make this point if people were evolved enough to not include those initial years in their life's accounting. It is because of this flawed accounting that Kabir has to remind people that they are wasting their childhood. The discussion then moves to other bhajans. When a participant quotes a verse about choosing between the Guru and God, Acharya Prashant humorously remarks that while the words are good, their honesty is questionable. He playfully suggests that besides the Guru and God, there are other figures in one's life, and besides the feet, there are other body parts to be devoted to, highlighting the selective nature of devotion. He emphasizes that only real and honest engagement brings real benefits. Another participant quotes a bhajan about the allure of a woman's eyes, to which Acharya Prashant notes that the 'Honesty Quotient' has risen slightly, moving from the feet to the eyes, but still bypassing the heart. Further explaining a verse, "What was to be said has been said, now nothing more can be said," Acharya Prashant delves into the nature of the ego (aham). He states that when you consider yourself as 'one' (the ego), then 'That' (the Truth or Atman) becomes the 'other.' For the ego, the Atman is a foreign, distant entity. However, in reality, 'That' is the only real thing, and the ego is unreal. The one who asks questions is the ignorant ego, as the all-knowing Atman has no questions. He advises being extremely cautious about one's thoughts, stating that even a thought against the saints, kept private, is a corrupt act. Ingratitude, he says, is the beginning of all evil. To commit evil, one first finds fault with the good, such as saints and sadhus, to justify their actions. He concludes by stressing the importance of restraining one's thoughts, speech, and actions, as a corrupt thought can quickly become a corrupt deed.
