Acharya Prashant addresses the popular concept of 'living in the moment,' critiquing it as a consumerist idea often used to justify indulgence without considering consequences. He explains that the mind naturally moves between the past and the future, and there is no inherent evil in this. Using the example of Shri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, he points out that even the Divine refers to the past to impart wisdom. The problem is not the time frame the mind occupies, but the state of the 'doer' or the observer. If one is established in truth, reflecting on the past or planning for the future is beneficial; however, if one is rooted in ego, even staying in the present can be a form of ignorance, such as ignoring the future consequences of harmful actions.
