Acharya Prashant explains that the things of the world do not come to confuse or deceive you; the fault lies in your own eyes. If your eyes are clear, nothing in the world can deceive you because there will be no one inside to be deceived. He states that only someone carrying valuables can be robbed. Similarly, we carry a lot of internal "maal" (goods), which is actually "mal" (filth). Because we are "maalamal" (rich in filth), we get robbed. Using an analogy, he says that a missile traveling 8,000 miles only causes destruction at its target, not along its path, because there was nothing to destroy. Similarly, others can harm you only when they find something within you to harm. The part of you that is available to be hurt is the ego. When asked how to differentiate between worldly subjects, Acharya Prashant advises prioritizing those subjects, like the Upanishads, that are designed to liberate you from all other subjects. He stresses the importance of choosing the right company, which includes people, books, and even thoughts. One must constantly ask whether a particular association leads to entanglement or liberation. Even thoughts should be judged by this standard. A helpful thought is one that leads to its own dissolution, making the ego thoughtless (nir-vichaar). This state of thoughtlessness is Kaivalya, or true solitude, which is completeness. When you are not with anyone, you are with the complete. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that for a mechanical person, the future is not uncertain but predetermined, like the hands of a clock. The outcome of one's actions is predictable based on the path chosen, as that path has been trodden by millions before. There is nothing new in such a story because there is no courage to do anything new. Therefore, one should not be surprised by the results. The path you are on was bound to lead to its inevitable conclusion. The entire story is already written; there is nothing new in your story because you lack the courage to do anything new.
