Acharya Prashant explains that common people are often trapped in the cycle of duty because of ignorance and selfishness. He clarifies that most duties are performed either because of societal conditioning or for personal gain. People fear that abandoning these duties will lead to sin or guilt, but he describes this as an impure intellect that lacks spiritual connection. A wise person, or one who possesses true knowledge, understands that these perceived duties are often artificial and do not lead to liberation.
