Acharya Prashant uses a metaphor of an 'unbreakable' ball made of dough to explain how people cling to unverified beliefs and traditions. He describes how a person might worship such a ball for generations without ever testing its strength, simply because it is ancient and sacred. When a new, truly unbreakable 'diamond ball'—representing Truth—challenges this belief, the ego reacts with anger and attempts to destroy it. However, the diamond ball remains intact while the tools used to strike it break. This process of the ego failing to destroy the Truth leads to self-knowledge, as the individual is forced to realize that their long-held beliefs were false and fragile.
