Acharya Prashant explains that while no one has the authority to label another person's decision as right or wrong, there is still an objective standard for rightness based on one's inner state. He asserts that every human being fundamentally seeks peace, relaxation, and contentment, regardless of their background. Therefore, a decision is right if it leads to peace and joy, and it is wrong if it results in insecurity, anxiety, or restlessness. He emphasizes that these labels are not relative in a way that justifies any choice, but are based on the actual impact a choice has on one's life. Furthermore, he clarifies that while nature grants everyone the right to decide, this includes the right to decide foolishly. Most people choose to act from their conditioned selves because it is comfortable and requires no effort. In contrast, choosing from heartful intelligence leads to liberation and joy but is rarely chosen because it requires hard work and a willingness to pay a price that most are too lazy or stingy to provide. Ultimately, the power to choose wisely rests with the individual.
