Acharya Prashant explains that the true definition of right and wrong is rooted in peace. Anything that allows one to sleep peacefully and keeps the mind calm is right, while anything that causes agitation, fear, or physical distress is wrong. He suggests that peace, love, and understanding should be the internal benchmarks for one's actions, rather than societal approval. He warns that following society's standards often leads to the loss of inner peace. While the 'inner voice' or conscience can be a helpful guide when no other support is available, he notes that it is often just a collection of imported societal values. The highest state of living is found in the silence that remains when both external societal noise and the internal conscience fall quiet.
