Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of lying to appear superior by first identifying the foundational lie: the belief that others are superior. He questions how one convinces themselves of this, asserting that, in reality, others are not superior. He explains that there are two aspects to a person. The first is what one has become, the self with all its limitations that one identifies with. The second is what one truly is, one's utmost potential and aspiration, a reality hidden from oneself which Vedanta calls the Atman or Self. We live as the first self, acutely aware of our daily problems and failures, while knowing nothing of our greatest potential. The speaker clarifies that in quantifiable, material aspects like marks, pay packages, or physical attributes, one might factually be behind others. For instance, in a competitive exam, it's a fact if someone is ranked higher. He advises acknowledging these facts but emphasizes that they are not one's destiny or the ultimate Truth. This material world is a game, and these comparisons are part of it. Acharya Prashant advocates for a fine balance. One must have the courage to accept comparisons where they are meaningful in the material world, but also the wisdom to know that all comparisons are relative and must be taken with a pinch of salt. This understanding prevents the complexes of inferiority and superiority. It provides the courage to honestly acknowledge when you are behind and the humility to accept when you are ahead. Ultimately, one's true nature is incomparable. There is a Truth beyond all comparison, and this must never be forgotten.
