Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why dishonest and selfish people often appear more courageous and powerful than those who claim to value truth. He explains that the strength of the dishonest lies in their total commitment to their falsehood; they are on a single boat and move with great speed because they have no internal conflict. In contrast, most people fail because they try to ride two boats simultaneously—the boat of selfishness and the boat of truth. This lack of singular devotion results in a lack of power, making them vulnerable to the aggression of those who are fully committed to their lies.
