Acharya Prashant explains that there are two ways to distinguish between human beings. The first way, which is common in the world, is based on what a person has, such as their bank balance, religion, caste, nationality, and possessions. This external perspective focuses on accumulation and social status. The second, more intelligent way is to look at what a person is, focusing on their essence. This involves understanding their sensitivity, their relationship with the world, their self-awareness, and the quality of their being rather than their material possessions or degrees. Regarding the pursuit of happiness, Acharya Prashant states that it is the common goal of all human beings throughout history. Every action, even acts of sacrifice for others, is ultimately driven by a personal desire for happiness or peace. He asserts that joy is our essential nature, which is why we feel restless and uncomfortable when it is absent. He concludes that joy is the nature of intelligence. While everyone chases happiness, it can only be attained through deep intelligence; it is not accessible to those who remain in stupidity, distraction, or mediocrity.
