Instead, it argues that “niyat” (determined action) should come from truth, not from societal norms, customs, or external authorities. The text criticizes how tradition, culture, and other influences have replaced truth as the source of action, leading to hypocrisy and mechanical living. It highlights that action is unavoidable, but the key choice lies in where action originates—either from truth or from conditioning like fear, habit, or social pressure. The author urges individuals to question false authorities and let their actions flow naturally from genuine understanding. Ultimately, the message is simple: live and act from truth, not from imitation or blind obedience, as only truth can lead to authentic and मुक्त (free) living. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b&nd=1&dlsi=2d753e5523df4ceb Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~~~~~
