Description

Acharya Prashant explains that Vedanta investigates the mind, whose ultimate destiny is liberation despite its habituation to various bondages. He describes the human mind as an entity often at odds with its own real interests, easily attracted to pomp, sexuality, and illusions. While the mind needs truth and liberation, it naturally slips toward falseness and requires deliberate discipline to rise toward knowledge. This inherent tendency to seek attention and avoid truth is amplified by social media technology, which serves as a propagating machinery for the worst aspects of human consciousness.
