Acharya Prashant explains that human behavior, particularly the tendency to obsess over the body, stems from a lack of meaningful purpose and excessive leisure. He compares adults to two-year-old children who, having no responsibilities or school, play with their own bodies or objects because their restless minds need something to grasp. Just as a child might suck their thumb or touch their genitals out of boredom, adults engage in various forms of bodily attachment, such as excessive grooming, obsessing over facial features, or spending hours on physical appearance like hair and clothing. He argues that society hypocritically labels some forms of bodily focus as 'dirty' while accepting others like waxing or shaving, even though the underlying attachment to the flesh is identical.
