Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the only true criterion for distinguishing right from wrong is whether an action leads toward liberation; everything else is incorrect. He dismisses the common notion that everyone has their own valid perspective or 'way of thinking' as a sign of profound ignorance. He argues that people often yield to others' foolish arguments not out of kindness, but because their own ignorance and lack of clarity dominate them. When one's consciousness is at the same level as those who are deluded, their irrational justifications seem acceptable. He compares a person acting on their own whims to a drunkard walking toward a pit. Just as one would not respect a drunkard's 'personal freedom' to fall, one should not respect the 'happiness' or 'choices' of those living in bondage and ignorance. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that as one's own consciousness rises and the 'intoxication' of ignorance fades, the absurdity of others' arguments becomes clear. He concludes that the concept of 'my choice' is often a tool used by the ego, and once one realizes that the 'I' making the choice is merely a product of conditioning and lack of awareness, such arguments lose their power.
