Acharya Prashant addresses the concepts of the law of attraction and manifestation, dismissing them as mere psychological distractions. He explains that these ideas are rooted in the fulfillment of desires, which is contrary to the true purpose of spirituality. Spirituality is not a tool to get what one wants; rather, the fulfillment of worldly desires often leads to further suffering and creates new forms of misery. He quotes the Buddha to illustrate that current sorrows are often the result of past pleasures and desires. When desires arise from ignorance and unconsciousness, their fulfillment only worsens one's internal condition, much like how a sick person's cravings can aggravate their illness.
