Acharya Prashant addresses the question of what the "I-feeling" is and how mistakes arise from it. He explains that claiming "I made a mistake" is often a way to escape punishment after having had fun. This "I" is the entity that is present when there is fun to be had, but it disappears when it's time for justice or to pay the price. The "I" is the one who enjoys but wants to avoid paying the price, and paying the price is what is called justice. He offers an alternative definition of "I": the one who is present during the moment of enjoyment (bhog) but is completely absent and missing during the moment of justice. He illustrates this by pointing out that no one ever says, "I enjoyed myself by mistake," or "By mistake, I missed the moment of enjoyment." However, people readily claim they forgot to pay for something by mistake. The "I" is always eager for enjoyment and is always present for it. But when it's time to pay the price, it claims, "I wasn't there, it was a coincidence, an accident, I didn't do it." The speaker suggests that a revolution in one's life is to eliminate the word "mistake" from one's vocabulary. Instead of saying something happened by mistake, one should say, "I did it." One must take responsibility. Even if a demonic tendency within caused the action, one must acknowledge, "I did it," without hiding or turning away. Being an adult human means taking responsibility for one's actions. Addressing the resistance one feels in seeing one's own mistakes, he advises not to pray for the resistance to lessen. Instead, one should say, "Despite all the resistance, I will continue." The joy is in facing the challenge. He compares this to the grunt of a tennis player hitting a difficult shot; the grunt signifies the immense effort, and the joy is in that very effort. Joy is a high thing and demands a high price—the price of one's life force. He encourages cultivating an attitude of living against the majority. He advises developing the habit of living an exceptional, abnormal life. He says to reject everything that is mainstream, because if it were truly good, it wouldn't be followed by the foolish masses. One should have the guts to live an abnormal life and roar with contempt, "Yes, I am abnormal. I am not one of you." He concludes that excellence is uncommon and abnormal, while mediocrity is common and normal.
