Acharya Prashant advises against being impressed by titles, positions, or fame. He emphasizes that an individual remains the same regardless of their status or the size of their office. He urges the youth not to live in fantasies or blindly accept what is written in newspapers or history books, noting that history often glorifies conquerors and criminals while ignoring saints and scholars. One must see the false as false and not be intimidated by big names or political leaders. He argues that a truly intelligent and healthy mind would not seek political power. Politics is the pursuit of power over others, which involves manipulation and diplomacy—traits of an unsettled mind. A person who has conquered themselves does not seek to control others. Seeking power is a sign of internal deprivation and an attempt to fill an inner void. Addressing the reliance on numbers, he states that the majority is historically foolish. Relying on the fact that millions follow a certain path does not prove its truth. Truth is seen through individual intelligence and discretion, not by counting heads. He warns that following the crowd leads to foolishness and that being intelligent requires the courage to stand alone. Finally, he explains that to truly help others, one must first possess clarity within themselves. One cannot give what they do not have; if a person is confused, they will only spread confusion. Self-understanding and overcoming internal conflict are prerequisites for any meaningful external action.
