Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is often dominated by pleasure, which acts as a substitute for truth. This sense of pleasure creates a false feeling of completeness, making individuals believe that nothing more is needed in life. He defines Maya as this false sense of wholeness that is temporary and dependent on its opposite. Most people do not turn toward spirituality because they are engrossed in gratification, believing that whatever is missing can be acquired through worldly means. Pleasure effectively denies love and truth, leading people to focus only on objects and agents that provide immediate satisfaction.
