Acharya Prashant explains that an individual's thoughts, actions, and sense of duty are entirely determined by their self-identification. If one identifies primarily as a mother, their thoughts and duties will revolve solely around their children, often at the expense of seeking truth or spiritual liberation. He emphasizes that while one can choose any identity, such as a mother, a spouse, or a professional, every identity comes with its own set of consequences and karmic fruits. He argues that worldly identities like motherhood or business do not lead to ultimate peace or 'Samadhi' because they are rooted in the physical and social realm rather than in spiritual seeking.
