Acharya Prashant explains that everyday life is a continuous flow of time characterized by change and duality. He describes our daily existence as a dance of opposites where everything—clothes, thoughts, moods, and companions—eventually turns into its opposite. This movement in contradictions, such as meeting to part or being born to die, creates a sense of restlessness and suffering for the 'I' or the experiencer. The mind identifies with experiences that inevitably fade, leaving the individual in a state of gloom or despair, fueled only by the false hope that things might eventually stabilize.
