Acharya Prashant explains that comparing oneself to others is not inherently a bad thing, provided you are doing it to learn the facts. For example, if you want to know whether three is greater or two, there is no harm in that. Similarly, if your friend has scored eight marks while you have scored four, there is absolutely no mistake in asking to see what they wrote. Here, you want to know the truth; you have a curiosity for the facts, so there is no mistake. Next, he addresses the matter of blaming others. He states that the other person could be at fault. It is possible that your family did not provide the money, or that your teachers were not good. He is not saying that others are always right. However, the pain and loss resulting from their faults are experienced by you. Therefore, the ultimate responsibility is yours. Blaming others will not compensate for your loss, and cursing them will not make your life better. It is a very practical matter that whether others are at fault or not, you have to see how you can become better and where your well-being lies. He illustrates this with an analogy: if you are driving on the road and someone comes towards you driving drunk, you see them coming towards your car. Will you say, 'It is his fault, I am not at fault'? Or will you immediately apply the brakes and turn your car to avoid a collision? The fault will be his, but your leg will be broken. So, what is the benefit of blaming? Do what is in your best interest. The fault may belong to others, but the pain, injury, and loss are yours. If the loss is yours, then the responsibility to save yourself is also yours. Life provides only flawed resources. Whatever you get will have some flaw. He compares this to a car; no car is without a scratch. If you keep demanding a perfect car, you will never be able to use it when needed, for instance, to take a dying person for medicine. Life is like this. You will only meet imperfect, flawed people. Using these flawed resources to their highest potential is innocence (Nirdoshta). Your innocence lies in using all the flawed things you have received to correctly go beyond your own flaws.
