Description

Acharya Prashant emphasizes that one should never follow another person's path or adopt their life as a role model. He explains that when you follow someone else's journey out of greed for their success, you are choosing dependency and helplessness over your own uniqueness. Since every individual is unique with a different history, another person's path cannot be yours. He points out the irony that the very people presented as role models, such as Shri Buddha, Jesus, or Shri Krishna, never followed anyone else; they created their own paths by leaving behind what was handed to them by tradition and history. Shri Krishna did not hear the Gita from someone else to repeat it; rather, it flowed from him. Acharya Prashant urges the listener to let their own 'Gita' emerge rather than being part of a crowd that merely follows.
