Acharya Prashant addresses why the mind often finds the truth and the action of intelligence repulsive or uninteresting. He explains that the brain is a programmed apparatus shaped by evolution, with its primary concern being security and the continuation of its existing state. For the brain, security means ensuring that the future mirrors the past, based on the logic that since it survived the past, the past must be safe. Consequently, the brain resists anything new or any attempt to move away from its preconditioned patterns, as it perceives change as a threat to its survival. The speaker contrasts the brain with intelligence, noting that while the brain is deeply insecure and avoids the new, intelligence is intrinsically secure and always fresh. The brain operates through memories and hopes, wandering in the past or future, whereas intelligence functions entirely in the present moment through attention. He likens the process of intelligence to being woken up from a blissful sleep; initially, one might resist and find the wakefulness a nuisance, preferring to remain in the sleep of conditioning. Acharya Prashant further explains that the brain's biological programming focuses solely on the preservation of the physical body and reproduction. Nature's interest is limited to survival and offspring, which is why the brain finds higher growth or intelligence unappealing. He warns that the brain can even become violent when its deep-seated beliefs are challenged, as seen in religious fanatics. He encourages the listener to recognize these resistances as tricks of the brain designed to avoid the transformative power of attention and reality.
