Acharya Prashant clarifies the profound difference between innocence and ignorance, emphasizing that true innocence is not about being foolish or unaware. Using the example of Shri Shiva, who is called 'Bhola' (the innocent one), he explains that innocence means being untouched by the trivialities and corruptions of the world. It is the state of being so fulfilled within that external politics, malice, or petty gains do not enter one's inner being. While an ignorant person does not understand what is happening, an innocent person understands everything perfectly but finds no interest or 'rasa' in it because they are already immersed in a higher state of bliss. He warns against confusing 'bhondupan' (stupidity) with innocence, noting that true innocence is a form of spiritual health where one remains pure despite the presence of external 'disease' or negativity. Addressing the internal conflict of human nature, Acharya Prashant describes the human condition as a 'civil war' where one part of the individual seeks bondage while the other prays for liberation. He asserts that we are responsible for our own captivity through our choices and signatures. To break free, one must recognize that their tendencies and patterns often lead to poor choices. The key to right selection is the constant remembrance that one's own conditioned mind is unreliable. Furthermore, he explains that everything chosen in the world has an expiry date. Just as one discards spoiled milk from a refrigerator, one must learn to let go of old identities, choices, and patterns that have outlived their purpose. He concludes that we often keep ourselves 'stored' in the past, refusing to allow our own transformation or dissolution.
