Acharya Prashant addresses the difficulty of perceiving reality without preconceived notions and opinions. He observes that while people often complain about the burden of past experiences and prejudices, they overlook their inherent and continuous longing for the truth. He suggests that individuals frequently choose to identify with their limitations and darkness rather than the light of truth. If one stands firmly with the truth, the strength of that light is sufficient to cast away any veil of past impressions. He further critiques the human tendency to become overwhelmed by trivial and petty challenges, such as family matters, social status, or minor physical inconveniences. He points out that people often dress up these small, personal grievances in grand, intellectual, or global terms to avoid admitting their own pettiness. According to him, the magnitude of the challenges one faces defines one's character. By being honest about the triviality of these issues and allowing the greatness within to observe them, these petty problems naturally dissolve. He concludes that remaining stuck in smallness is a result of turning away from the vastness of the truth.
