Acharya Prashant explains that people often become attached to their conditioning and slavery because they have developed deep identifications with family, society, and nation. This identification causes the ego to feel hurt when its falseness is exposed. He points out that from birth, individuals are helpless and are given religions and beliefs they never asked for, which is a form of exploitation. While this happens to everyone during childhood when the brain is not yet physically mature enough for full intelligence, an adult has the capacity to wake up and use their own intelligence to observe these patterns.
