Acharya Prashant critiques the modern spiritual notion that good and bad are merely subjective perceptions or illusions. He argues that for an individual, good and bad are very real and that failing to distinguish between what is advisable and what is avoidable leads to suffering. He asserts that while non-dualistic sages like Ashtavakra or Dattatreya could honestly declare that virtues and vices do not exist from their elevated state, common individuals must exercise discrimination to navigate life. Without the faculty of right judgment, one becomes lost and prone to suffering. He emphasizes the importance of 'Viveka' or discrimination, urging individuals to be judgmental and to know exactly what to accept and what to refuse. He warns against using neutrality or moderation as a convenient excuse to avoid the truth. Using a metaphorical comparison between Shri Krishna and a common relative, he explains that one must take extreme positions in favor of the truth rather than settling for a compromise. He concludes by warning that suspicion and doubt are tools used by the ego and nature to keep a person away from the truth, and one must be certain in their pursuit of what is right.
