Acharya Prashant explains that what individuals commonly refer to as their personal interest is actually a product of past conditioning and external influences. Using the example of language and dietary habits, he illustrates that our preferences for certain movies or food are dictated by the environment we were raised in rather than an innate choice. He asserts that true interest is rare because most of our inclinations are driven by social conditioning or biological factors like hormones. He compares a person driven by such interests to a slave who mistakenly believes they are acting on their own will, noting that the most dangerous form of slavery is when the enslaved person defends their lack of freedom. He further clarifies that being interested or disinterested involves holding opinions and views that prevent a person from being truly present in the moment. To understand reality, one must move beyond these biases and investigate the source of their desires. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that interests are often just disturbances from the sanctity of the present moment. Instead of seeking a 'real' interest, he encourages an intelligent investigation into the origins of one's current interests and urges the audience to simply 'be' rather than being caught in the cycle of identification with bodily urges or mental tricks.
