Description

Acharya Prashant explains that for a person established in their true nature, there is no distinction between distraction and concentration, knowledge and ignorance, or pleasure and pain. Such a person, referred to as a 'Tattvik', does not use limited worldly experiences as substitutes for the ultimate truth. While these dualities exist in their life, they remain under the shadow of truth and are never considered superior to it. The speaker emphasizes that a wise person like Buddha is comfortable admitting ignorance because they do not derive their identity from being knowledgeable. In contrast, ordinary people often pretend to know things to protect their ego and image.
