Acharya Prashant clarifies that early childhood memories are not absent because of pure witnessing, but because they are registered deeply in the unconscious mind. Since toddlers lack language, their experiences are recorded in a subtle, non-linguistic way that is inaccessible to conscious thought. He refutes the idea that children are uncorrupted or pure witnesses, asserting that they are deeply conditioned, animalistic creatures driven by biological tendencies and self-interest. He explains that the self is not available to a child, and their behavior is governed by prakritik or animalistic conditioning rather than wisdom or compassion. He argues that education is necessary to neutralize or channelize these innate animalistic tendencies, though modern education often fails by adding more conditioning. Acharya Prashant criticizes the societal obsession with children and procreation, labeling it as a form of violence against the planet and a result of biological and hormonal conditioning. He suggests that the perceived 'cuteness' of babies is a survival ploy of nature. He concludes by stating that true innocence and lack of corruption are found only in saints like Shri Krishna, Buddha, or Kabir Saheb, who have transcended their innate cunningness through spiritual practice, whereas a child is born with ancient, prakritik corruption.
