Acharya Prashant explains that morality is a collective and traditional set of rules determined by society based on public opinion rather than individual wisdom or spiritual insight. He notes that morality often stems from a lower level of social intelligence and changes according to convenience, greed, or the passage of time, rather than true understanding. Because it is borrowed from tradition and the majority, morality varies across different regions and eras, often leading to contradictions where one group's 'moral' act is seen as 'immoral' by another. He emphasizes that morality is often a substitute for those who lack 'Vivek' (discernment), which is the ability to distinguish between the eternal and the transient. He further argues that morality can become an obstacle to individual growth because it is imposed from the outside and discourages questioning. Society often fears individual discretion, labeling those who use their own intelligence as rebels. Acharya Prashant uses the analogy of a crowded fair to show that when individuals are awake and use their own internal light or 'Vivek', they can navigate life without colliding with others, even without external instructions. He concludes that it is better to make one's own decisions and risk making mistakes than to live a safe but 'dead' life based on borrowed social norms. True guidance comes from internal awakening and the light of one's own consciousness rather than social pressure.
