Acharya Prashant explains that human birth is inherently characterized by various tendencies and bondages. He states that being born as a human means being born with a multitude of innate tendencies, often likened to impurities or ailments. He emphasizes that if one were truly a virtuous soul, there would be no need for birth in this world of suffering. Many people live under a false sense of self-confidence, believing they are clean and without flaws, especially if they have achieved intellectual success, wealth, or social recognition. This false pride prevents them from recognizing their deep-seated bondages and the need for genuine transformation.
