Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that individuality is something to be acquired or compared with others. He explains that every person is already an individual by essence, but this true nature remains hidden under layers of conditioning, experiences, and external influences. He compares this to a traveler who accumulates dust and dirt during a long journey; the person remains the same, but the dirt must be dusted away. Therefore, the process is not one of 'becoming' something new, but rather 'un-becoming'—getting rid of foreign thoughts, beliefs, and identities that have been acquired from society, media, and education.
