Acharya Prashant addresses the feeling of being 'the best' and the resulting sense of entitlement. He explains that while one is indeed incomparably best in the non-dual realm of truth, this dimension is one of 'twoness' or comparison. In the absolute realm, there is no other to compare oneself with, making superiority and inferiority meaningless. However, most people live in the world of relatives and duality, where everything is measurable and prone to change. In this world, claiming to be the best is factually impossible and insignificant because any achievement can be exceeded by a 'plus one'. He uses the fable of Diogenes and Alexander to illustrate that true peace and 'bestness' come from residing in the absolute, not from worldly conquests or riches. He further discusses the concept of choice and freedom, asserting that helplessness is a fraud. Even in difficult social situations or under conditioning, individuals always possess the innate freedom to choose their response. He critiques the ego's tendency to seek pride and purpose through comparison, which leads to a cycle of hurt and superiority. True love, he notes, is defined by the freedom it accords, rather than the chains of expectation. He encourages moving toward a dimension of no comparison, which robs the ego of its ability to feel inferior or superior, leading to a state of being that is beyond the vagaries of time and numbers. Addressing the struggle with habits and conditioning, Acharya Prashant explains that the mind is often hardwired to pursue immediate pleasure (Priyas) over what is truly good (Shreya). He emphasizes that liberation requires 'Tapasya' or the willingness to go against one's own biological and social wiring. He suggests that while the consequences of past actions (Karma) must be borne like an arrow that has left the bow, one can achieve spiritual liberation by 'dying' to the old self and its patterns. By transforming from a 'monkey' driven by greed into a 'Buddha', one can drop the attachments that cause suffering. He concludes by advising the creation of a supportive ecosystem and the importance of self-observation to rewire the mind toward truth and freedom.
