Acharya Prashant explains that everything in the material world, including human consciousness, is a product of conditioning and processes. He defines conditioning as both a process and an output where nothing appears spontaneously but is always the result of specific conditions. In this framework, death is not an end but merely a change in the ongoing reaction of material processes. He suggests that viewing people as processes or a mass of chemicals, rather than as individuals, naturally leads to the cessation of anger. If one recognizes that others are acting out of helplessness and a lack of choice, anger becomes untenable because there is no central person to be angry at. He further clarifies that real consciousness is synonymous with the presence of choice. When someone appears to make a 'wrong choice,' it is actually an absence of choice, indicating they are functioning as a choiceless process. Acharya Prashant also addresses the nature of the ego, describing it as an intruder that can only survive through identification and association. Just as an uninvited guest must pretend to know residents to avoid being thrown out, the ego must constantly be in the 'company' of something or someone to justify its existence. He concludes that while the ego claims it is needed, the true self remains completely adequate and in harmony without it.
