Acharya Prashant explains that Vedant investigates the mind, which, despite its ultimate destiny for liberation, is habituated to various bondages. The human mind is often at odds with its own welfare, easily attracted to pomp, sexuality, and illusions. While rising toward knowledge and liberation requires discipline and deliberate effort, the mind naturally slips toward falseness and seeks social attention to alleviate loneliness. This inherent nature of the mind is what drives the current engagement with social media technology.
