Acharya Prashant addresses the tendency of individuals to form preconceived images and labels of others, such as viewing them as superior or inferior, before any actual interaction occurs. He explains that this habit stems from the ego's discomfort with feeling small or its desire to feel big. However, the deeper issue is the mind's reliance on fixed images—labels like friend, enemy, relative, or stranger—which prevents a person from seeing an individual as they truly are. These labels are a mechanism for the mind to find security and convenience in the known, avoiding the effort required to be fully conscious and present in a living relationship.
