Acharya Prashant explains that feelings of inferiority and jealousy within the family are universal experiences rooted in the human ego. He clarifies that jealousy is present in every cell of the body and exists in everyone, from infants to the elderly. The realization of these feelings is not a sign of something being wrong but rather an indication of awareness. He notes that while many people are either not conscious enough to notice these feelings or too fearful to admit them, they are inherent to the human condition. He emphasizes that even he is not immune to these natural tendencies, but the key lies in how one responds to them. He further explains that the ego is not just a single emotion but the fundamental sense of 'I' that attaches itself to various bodily and mental states. While emotions like jealousy, fear, and greed are natural functions of the body and brain's chemistry, the individual has the power to choose whether to identify with them. He distinguishes between the arising of an emotion and becoming that emotion. The body, being a biological machine, will inevitably produce these tendencies, but the individual's true nature is to remain separate. The space between the occurrence of an emotion and the act of identifying with it is where the possibility of freedom and liberation exists.
