Acharya Prashant addresses the common misconception that one can possess true knowledge and yet remain bound by ignorance or external forces. He explains that if knowledge were genuine, it would become the master of the individual, rather than the individual claiming to be the master of knowledge. Most people possess 'small knowledge,' which is merely a tool used to serve pre-existing, ancient, and animalistic desires for sensory gratification. This type of knowledge does not change one's destination; it only provides new paths to reach the same old goals of worldly consumption.
