Acharya Prashant addresses the common advice of maintaining balance and avoiding extremes, asserting that moderation cannot be a universal standard because it ignores the fundamental questions of who is performing the action and for what purpose. He explains that the human self is an unsatisfied and bound consciousness, and therefore, every action should ideally be directed toward liberation. Even entertainment is acceptable if it serves as a tool for liberation, but it becomes a hindrance when it lacks a higher purpose. He emphasizes that the impact of an activity on one's consciousness is the only true measure of its worth.
