Acharya Prashant explains that most people, in fact, all people, are not a single individual but a collection of many. A person has numerous faces, a concept represented by Dashanan (Ravana) with his ten heads. Every individual has many parts within them. This multiplicity is not apparent from the outside because a person has only one physical face. This creates the illusion that when you talk to someone in the morning and then again in the evening, you are speaking to the same person because their face remains unchanged. However, the reality is that the person inside has changed. We lack the eyes to perceive this internal transformation. This leads to deception, sorrow, and pain, making life feel tasteless and joyless. To avoid this, one should not trust or rely on a person who has multiple centers, is operated by various sources, or is influenced by many things. The inner face of such a person changes instantly. One face has one master, and another face has a different master; when there are two masters, there will be two faces. Most of us have many masters and, consequently, many faces. This is why we cannot offer refuge to others, nor can we even find refuge for ourselves. We cannot give advice or light to others because we cannot do so for ourselves. The speaker uses the analogy of an orange, which appears as one from the outside but contains many segments inside. While an orange's segments are similar, our inner segments are vastly different, formed by various influences like home, school, and society. For instance, a religious grandmother and an atheist father create two conflicting segments within a person. The true self, or soul, never gets a chance to emerge from beneath these influences. Instead, we are given multiple centers of ego from various sources like parents, school, leaders, or even novels. These different segments, having different masters, are in constant disagreement, yet they must coexist within one person. This internal conflict is the life of an ordinary person. The purpose of scriptures like the Upanishads is not just liberation or samadhi but to end these daily internal battles. In these battles, no matter which part wins, you are the one who loses, as it is your own blood that is shed. You can only truly win when all the hundred inner masters are defeated, not when one wins over the others. A person who is easily influenced is not trustworthy because they do not exist as a single, stable entity; they are merely a shadow, like a reflection in a mirror that changes with whatever is in front of it. The speaker also addresses the idea of a calm mind, stating that momentary peace is just unrest in disguise. The peace experienced in time is dualistic, preceded and followed by unrest, and thus not real. True peace is non-dual and beyond all experiences. Spirituality is not about denying nature—hunger, sleep, pleasure, and pain will exist as long as the body does. Instead, it is about realizing that you are separate from these experiences. Therefore, one must be cautious in the company of two types of people: the very weak, who will consume you to overcome their weakness, and the very ambitious, who will consume you for their ambition.
