Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is not a passive recipient of influences but actively seeks them out. He likens the mind to a sponge waiting to be influenced or a vacuum that soaks in air. This eagerness stems from an inner emptiness. The mind is a low-pressure area that sucks in fluids from all sides. It is a thirsty, hungry place that is demanding to be filled with influences. It is not that influences are eager to come to you, but rather that you are eager to soak them in. The speaker further illustrates this with the analogy of a vacant house. The mind is like an empty drawing-room, and we stand at the door like a beggar, asking every passerby to come and fill our house. This desperation is captured in the sentiment, "Let someone love me for a moment, even if it's false." This happens because the "royal chair" in the mind, which should belong to the most sacred divinity, has been left vacant. With the king missing, all kinds of undeserving people are rushing in to sit on the king's chair. The solution is to invite the king back to his throne. This means realizing one's inner completeness and being firmly grounded in the understanding that "I am alright, and always alright." One must never believe, even for a second, that something is missing in their life. We have been trained by the world to believe that something is always missing—friends, marks, a career, money, or family. However, the speaker asserts that you are always, already, and forever perfect. Small deficiencies in knowledge or skill are insignificant, like a billionaire losing a ten-rupee note; they don't matter because the truly important is never missing. When one lives in this realization of inner completeness, they are no longer eager for external influences. Just as a hotel in its peak season is overbooked and has no vacancy, a mind filled with its own completeness will not seek external validation. When influences come, you will be able to say, "No, no, no, no vacancy." The one who lives in this realization will never be influenced.
