Acharya Prashant explains that the inability to move on from past hurts or unworthy people is a clear indicator that one's internal self has not evolved. He uses the analogy of checking out of an inferior hotel to illustrate that life does not afford vacuums; unless one checks into a superior state of being or associates with better causes, the mind will remain stuck in the past or attract similar unworthy situations. Moving on is not merely about dropping a person or an episode, but about moving on from one's previous inferior self. If the internal self remains unchanged, the same errors in judgment will recur because the underlying tendencies that led to the initial mistake are still present.
