Description

Acharya Prashant explains that biological death and life are often misunderstood through the lens of science, as many physical functions and even emotions can be replicated by machines. He asserts that emotions are merely intensified thoughts resulting from external stimuli and internal conditioning. According to him, most human actions are predetermined by genetic and social programming, making humans similar to robots. He argues that the mind primarily remembers events tied to self-interest, pleasure, or pain, indicating that almost every human action is driven by a hidden motive or reason. He further clarifies that the true distinction between a machine and a living being lies in the ability to act without a reason or purpose. While a robot always functions according to the goals set by its creator, a human who lives solely for targets and selfish motives remains a slave to their programming. Acharya Prashant defines "God" or "Godliness" as the state of living without a cause, characterized by spontaneous joy and purposeless play. He concludes that to transcend being a machine, one must drop selfishness and motives, as living without a reason is the essence of true life and freedom.
