Acharya Prashant explains that virtue is not a matter of behavior or thought control. Most people believe that goodness lies in exhibiting proper conduct, but this is merely a superficial level maintained to avoid social or legal consequences. While behavior is external, thoughts are often conditioned by upbringing and society. He argues that even if one manages to control their thoughts through practice or conditioning, it does not constitute true virtue because such thoughts are not free. Therefore, one should not feel guilty about having certain thoughts, as they do not define one's character.
