Acharya Prashant explains that strength is not something to be actively cultivated or imported; rather, it is one's innate nature and purity of being. He posits that humans are already strong, but this natural strength is shrouded by weakness that has been learned, imbibed, or imported from external sources. Therefore, the process of becoming strong is actually a process of unlearning weakness and uncovering one's original self. He defines weakness as anything that is not truly yours, such as concepts brought by society, biochemical physicality, or random external influences. He advises being extremely selective about what one allows into their internal space, comparing the intake of toxic social influences to a diabetic consuming sugar, which damages the internal system.
