Acharya Prashant addresses the struggle of the ego, explaining that it is not an external object to be defeated but the very subject that thinks and acts. He clarifies that as long as the body exists, the ego will remain because it is physiological in nature. Therefore, seeking a decisive, one-time victory over the ego is a misunderstanding of non-duality. Instead of being frustrated by its persistence, one should view the internal struggle as a form of entertainment or a game, much like the myth of Sisyphus. He emphasizes that the ego is the one making choices and creating images of itself to 'kill' as a deceptive tactic, and true wisdom lies in observing its movements with awareness rather than seeking its total annihilation before death. Regarding family and responsibilities, Acharya Prashant advises that individuals must take full existential responsibility for their choices, such as parenthood. He points out that relying on another person's sense of duty often leads to disappointment because duty without love is shallow. He stresses that women should ensure their own capability to raise a child before conceiving, rather than depending on a partner who may turn out to be irresponsible. He concludes that relationships based on social or legal compulsions lack depth, and true clarity comes from understanding that one's life situation is a result of their own conscious or unconscious selections.
