Acharya Prashant explains the sutra that knowledge is bondage, clarifying that what we often call ignorance is actually an abundance of knowledge that stands between an individual and the truth. He argues that humans are rarely truly ignorant; instead, they are stuffed with social conditioning and memory. This knowledge dictates our daily lives and even our perceptions of love, which he asserts is almost entirely conditional and memory-dependent. He uses the example of a mother’s love changing upon learning her child was swapped at birth to illustrate that our emotions are often tied to biological knowledge and mental imprints rather than something unconditional.
