Description

Acharya Prashant explains that human perception is often limited to the physical body and sensory inputs because individuals are deeply bound to their senses. This superficiality leads people to value only what is visible or tangible, such as physical gestures, skin color, or the external packaging of products. He argues that approaching human beings or objects solely through their material properties—like weight, color, or appearance—is a failure to recognize consciousness and actual value. This tendency to remain superficial reflects in all life choices, from selecting partners based on specific physical features to choosing jobs based on brand glossiness rather than the nature of the work.
