Acharya Prashant addresses the tendency of the human ego to identify with the body and its natural instincts. He explains that while the body has inherent tendencies like fear, hunger, and the drive for survival, these are purely biological and neutral. Using the example of a physical altercation, he notes that the body's reaction of trembling or fear is a natural response to perceived danger. However, the problem lies not in the body's instincts but in the ego's tendency to 'stick' to these sensations and identify with them. He describes the ego as 'glue' that constantly seeks something to cling to, starting with the body as its default object and then extending to possessions, relationships, and thoughts. He emphasizes that the body is innocent and operates like an animal, following the laws of nature without concepts of sin or virtue. Animals do not commit the atrocities that humans do because they lack the ego's complex attachments. Acharya Prashant argues that human cruelty and suffering arise from the ego's refusal to remain in a state of solitude or 'Kaivalya'. Instead of blaming biological instincts for violence or fear, one must observe the ego's habit of fueling these tendencies. He concludes that one should remain a witness to the body's natural functions rather than becoming entangled in them, as the true source of trouble is the ego's attachment, not the body itself.
