Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is primarily filled with external conditioning, beliefs, and implants that are inherently false. He emphasizes that the process of self-improvement often involves a 'via negativa'—rejecting and demolishing what is false rather than seeking a new set of instructions to follow. When a person begins to see the futility of their attachments and conditioning, the mind often tries to replace the old falsehoods with new ones, seeking a different object of dependence. Acharya Prashant warns against making any teaching, including his own, a new form of conditioning. The goal is not to move from one dependency to another but to achieve maturity, which he defines as the ability to stand on one's own feet and see through one's own consciousness.
