Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of inequality, explaining that equality is an artificial and foolish idea because nothing in existence is equal. He points out that nature itself is diverse, with variations in the size of planets, rivers, and flowers. He argues that our perception of 'misfortune' or 'bad karma'—such as being born with a physical deformity or in a poor family—is merely a reflection of our own biases and body-centric or wealth-centric values. He cites the example of Shri Ashtavakra, who was born with severe physical deformities yet became a central pillar of Vedanta and a guide for mankind, proving that external conditions do not define one's spiritual worth.
