Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether there is an absolute notion of right and wrong. He explains that all rights and wrongs, and everything in the universe, exist for the individual. Therefore, all righteousness and wrongness are with respect to the individual. This concept is delicate and requires attention. The fundamental condition of a human being is that they are not alright; they are unfulfilled and dissatisfied. This is what makes us move and desire change or betterment. We are entities that are not okay, both at the physical and mental levels. Sometimes we feel okay, but only in a relative sense, for instance, feeling better after a headache is gone. We are never perfectly okay. Perfection has a unitary characteristic and cannot change. If one were perfectly okay, one would never lapse into imperfection again. However, we do. The human being is defined as an imperfect entity striving for perfection. The human consciousness is unfulfilled and seeks fulfillment; it is incomplete and constantly trying for completion. Given this, the right thing is that which leads one towards satisfaction, perfection, and contentment. Conversely, the wrong thing is that which further aggravates this diseased condition. The speaker then introduces a paradox: the 'I' is, by definition, imperfection. The bigger the imperfection, the bigger the 'I' or ego. As the 'I' moves towards perfection, which it desires, the 'I' itself must reduce. This reduction feels like death to the 'I', so it starts resisting the very perfection it wanted. Therefore, the right thing is that which reduces you, and that is why it is so difficult and feels threatening. The right thing is a very fearful thing; it horrifies you. The litmus test for real satisfaction is that you will feel threatened and reduced. If you feel satisfied without feeling threatened, then that satisfaction is a dangerous problem. As a corollary, the wrong thing is very attractive because it consolidates and fattens the 'I'. People do the wrong things on their own without needing encouragement, but they need to be constantly pushed to do the right thing. What comes naturally is most probably wrong, as it comes from our biological nature, from the jungle. The right thing is a product of deep thinking, courage, discipline, and true love. The joy that comes from doing the right thing is very expensive, like the joy a fighter gets bathed in his own blood after a worthy battle.
