Acharya Prashant explains that human weakness is not an inherent condition but a result of relying on external supports. He asserts that people are not weak because they seek support; rather, they become weak because they have clung to supports. These supports, whether emotional, physical, or spiritual, are manifestations of Maya (illusion) that give birth to and sustain the ego. The ego thrives on the false narrative of being a 'helpless victim' to avoid existential responsibility and to gain sympathy. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the belief in one's own weakness is a clever deception used to justify dependency and laziness.
