Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether knowledge or destiny is more significant in life. He clarifies that what is commonly referred to as knowledge is merely an accumulation of information from the past, experiences, and external circumstances. This knowledge does not represent true merit or worthiness, as even a book or a camera can store vast amounts of data without possessing any actual understanding. He argues that knowledge is always external and borrowed, whereas true capability comes from one's own understanding.
