Acharya Prashant explains that if one is not coming from the right center, any realization, such as the fragility of life during the pandemic, is prone to be interpreted in a false way. For example, realizing that life is ephemeral might lead one to go on a consumption spree to make the most of the time left. This happens because the doer, the ego, operates from a sense of incompleteness. Consequently, all doing is aimed at consumption of some kind, whether material, emotional, or even spiritual, in an attempt to fill this inner void. This very drive for consumption has led humanity to vandalize the planet and face crises like pandemics. Acharya Prashant states that there is not much hope for humanity without a fundamental realization of where we are coming from. He emphasizes the need for a psychological "second birth," which means dying to our past ways of being. He explains that everything is contextual, meaning it is related to its background and conditions. The only thing that is not contextual is the Truth, which is independent or "Niralamb." When scriptures like the Vedas are said to be contextual, it means they are telling us that we, the ego, are a product of our context and are conditioned. There is nothing absolute or free about the ego. Recognizing that we are conditioned beings gives rise to a sharp desire for liberation. Acharya Prashant's message is that the good one wants for oneself is indeed possible, but not through the ways one is currently attempting to materialize it. He concludes that being what you are, you will not get what you deserve. To get what you deserve, you must stop being what you mistakenly are right now.
