Acharya Prashant addresses the popular social media trend of manifestation, defining it as the expression of one's desires through imagination. He argues that the fundamental problem with manifestation is not whether it works, but the quality of the desires themselves. He points out that human desires are often foolish, selfish, or even harmful to others, driven by lust, greed, or competition. He suggests that if our stupid desires were actually fulfilled, it would lead to personal and collective destruction. While intense concentration and effort can sometimes lead to achieving a goal, he questions if the object of desire is truly worth the time and energy invested. He advises that once a person understands what is truly right for them, they no longer need manifestation tricks; instead, they find an explosion of inner energy to work for the right reasons without being obsessed with the destination.
