Acharya Prashant explains that an individual's choices are determined by their own priorities and understanding of their true needs. He uses the analogy of having limited money while being both sick and hungry to illustrate the difficulty of choice, emphasizing that one must understand who they are to know their actual requirements. Regarding the concept of living in accordance with the divine command, as taught by Shri Guru Nanak Dev, he clarifies that the word of a true Guru is the divine command. For those without a Guru, the primary caution is to not mistake one's own egoistic desires or whims for the divine command. Most people are driven by their own tendencies and passions, which they falsely equate with a higher will. To find the true command, one must first observe whose orders they are following in daily life—whether it is the impulse of their own mind and habits or something higher.
