Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the practical application of the Chandogya Upanishad's teaching that happiness exists only in the infinite and not in the finite. He explains that greatness is essentially the rejection of everything petty and small that pervades daily life. There is no theoretical way to greatness; it is a continuous practice of identifying and dropping the small without attachment, fear, or expectation. He emphasizes that achieving greatness requires dismantling one's current inner structures and razing the existing foundation to the ground, as a new life cannot be built on a foundation centered on smallness.
