Acharya Prashant challenges the fundamental assumption that innocent people exist, asserting that being a person inherently means being conditioned and therefore not innocent. He explains that innocence is a rare state of being free from all blemishes and bondages, which is not something nature distributes freely. According to him, the very act of being born implies unfulfilled desires and settled tendencies, meaning that everyone is born into a state of conditioning or 'guilt.' He argues that what people commonly mistake for innocence is merely social conformity, such as following laws, customs, or being loyal to family, which does not constitute true spiritual innocence.
