Acharya Prashant explains that maturity is not an achievement to be attained in the future through a process or time, but rather a discovery of what one already is. He distinguishes between achievement, which implies getting something one lacks, and discovery, which means uncovering something that is already present but hidden. For adults, maturity is already available within, yet it remains concealed under the false belief that one is still immature. This belief is often maintained because it provides a sense of security and allows individuals to avoid the responsibility that comes with being mature.
