Acharya Prashant explains the fundamental distinction between what is pleasant to the mind and what is truly beneficial for one's welfare. Referring to the Kathopanishad, he emphasizes that the path of welfare is distinct from the path of sensory enjoyment. Most people are driven by their ego and desires, choosing what is pleasing over what is good. He categorizes the human mind into three levels: the lowest mind follows its whims and ego; the middle level is the mind of a seeker who struggles against desires through discipline, spiritual practice, and the guidance of a Guru; and the highest level is the rare state of a saint like Kabir Saheb, where the mind is so immersed in the Divine that every action becomes naturally auspicious.
