Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner from Kolkata who feels overwhelmed by responsibilities and personal weaknesses like greed, anger, and lack of courage. He explains that restraint (Sanyam) is not about suppressing emotions but about single-minded devotion (Ek-nishtha). He suggests that if one feels anger, they should ask if that anger leads them toward the Truth or peace; if it does not, it is a waste of time. He emphasizes that the word 'is' should only be used for the eternal Truth that never perishes, whereas personal weaknesses and emotions are merely passing clouds or appearances (Pratiti) rather than permanent existence. He further clarifies that human experiences and perceptions are often deceptive and do not constitute the ultimate Truth. To practice restraint, one should prioritize the 'one' Truth above all other worldly experiences. Instead of trying to forcibly discard weaknesses, one should subordinate them to the service of the Truth. For instance, if one has anger or greed, it should be directed toward the pursuit of Truth. By making the Truth the master and all other tendencies its servants, these tendencies eventually dissolve, leading to a state of Samadhi. Regarding the ego's resistance to admitting mistakes, Acharya Prashant explains that the soul (Atma) is inherently pure and incapable of error, which is why humans naturally dislike admitting faults. However, the mistake lies in identifying with the ego (Aham) that commits the error while simultaneously claiming the soul's perfection. He concludes that one must either accept the ego's mistakes or transcend the ego to become the witness (Sakshi). As a witness, one is neither the doer nor the enjoyer, and thus remains untouched by both right and wrong actions.
