Acharya Prashant explains that evil is not a grand or powerful force, but rather a stubborn, recurring mistake. While sinning is a single error, evil is the incessant repetition of that error until it becomes one's perceived nature. He describes man as a being that naturally seeks support because he feels powerless. Evil arises when a person seeks support from something unworthy of reverence and refuses to acknowledge their mistake despite constant suffering. This stubborn refusal to change, even in the face of clear evidence, is the heart of evil. When a person identifies with their mistakes as their 'nature,' they become convinced of their own infallibility and start seeing the world as a hostile antagonist.
