In this interaction with students at Judge Business School, Acharya Prashant builds the AP Framework from first principles, beginning with the most fundamental question: what is the “I” that stands at the centre of our desires, identities and suffering? The discussion examines how the ego defines itself through external objects, achievements, relationships, social approval and inherited beliefs—and why dependence on these can leave us restless and incomplete. Moving from self-identity to the challenges faced by young people, the conversation explores the influence of parents, education and society in shaping our beliefs. Acharya Prashant emphasizes questioning what appears “obvious” or “normal” and observing our everyday choices, desires, emotions and relationships as a way of knowing ourselves. Rather than prescribing commandments, the framework calls for honest observation, examination and responsibility for one's choices. *Key Themes:* *The “I”, ego and the roots of suffering *Belief versus observation and honest inquiry *How external identities and approval shape the self *Youth, parenting and the responsibility of education *Questioning what society calls normal or obvious *Self-knowledge through everyday choices and actions *Freedom, choice and personal responsibility ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFweIdHB0vfcoizFcET?si=c8f9a6ba31964a06 Music Credits: Milind Date ~
