Acharya Prashant explains that the world we perceive is largely a product of our own perceptions rather than objective facts. He argues that humans do not see things as they are; instead, we see meanings that we superimpose onto objects. This tendency arises from an internal sense of meaninglessness and a psychological vacuum that we desperately try to fill with external objects. Because we believe we are incomplete, we look at the world with a motivated intention to seek fulfillment, which leads to suffering when those interpretations inevitably fail us.
