Acharya Prashant addresses the fear that arises from observing one's own mind and thoughts. He explains that the mind is inherently impure and its tendencies are distorted; this is an undeniable fact. He uses an analogy to illustrate this point: if you are told you have incurred a loss of ten lakhs, you will be shocked and your hands and feet will tremble. However, if you are told you have a loss of ten lakhs but also a profit of fifty lakhs, you will celebrate. The loss of ten lakhs is present in both situations, but the overall outcome is determined by the profit. Similarly, the inherent flaws of the mind and its tendencies are a fundamental loss that everyone is born with. The one who is born with a body and its associated tendencies is born at a loss. This loss is a given. The real question is whether you have earned the 'profit of fifty lakhs' in your life. The difference between people is not that some have this loss and others do not; everyone has it. The distinction lies in whether one has only the loss or has also earned a significant profit. The one who only has the loss will become a hypocrite, pretending not to have flaws because they have nothing else to show. In contrast, the one who has earned the profit can easily accept their flaws because the profit outweighs the loss. Acharya Prashant explains that the courage to face one's flaws comes from having attained something higher in life. Saints can openly admit their weaknesses because they possess something far greater. The ability to accept one's own shortcomings, lies, and weaknesses is possible only for those who have achieved something higher in life. This 'higher thing' is the understanding of the self's truth, the origin and destination of consciousness, and the futility of life's mundane patterns. The path is not to fight or conquer the tendencies but to transcend them by focusing on a higher pursuit. When you earn the real thing, you will have the courage to accept, acknowledge, and then transcend your tendencies and flaws.
