Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether the greed for learning is right or wrong, explaining that human tendencies like greed, anger, and attachment cannot be completely eliminated but should be redirected toward the divine. He cites Guru Gobind Singh Ji's words to illustrate that one should maintain the 'greed' to never forget the virtues of the Almighty and to always speak of Him. The core teaching is to orient all inner tendencies toward the Truth; if one feels fear, it should be the fear of forgetting the Divine, and if one feels attachment, it should be directed toward the Supreme. He explains that Indian tradition has masterfully assigned various forms to the Supreme Power—such as a child, a father, a mother, or even elements of nature like trees and rivers—so that no matter where a person's natural tendencies lean, they find the Divine there. By dedicating every emotion, including anger, to a higher purpose or a divine cause, one naturally transcends petty worldly reactions. Ultimately, the secret lies not in killing one's tendencies but in offering them in service to the Truth.
