Acharya Prashant discusses the psychological nature of role models, defining them as individuals one seeks to emulate or copy. He explains that the choice of a role model is rarely an independent decision but is instead a product of one's conditioning. For instance, a person's religious or ideological background—whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or Communist—predetermines who they will look up to, such as Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Prophet Muhammad, Jesus, or Marx. This conditioning creates restrictive divisions within the heart, preventing a person from appreciating the qualities of others outside their specific group. He further clarifies that the 'self' that chooses a role model is essentially a bundle of conditioned identities. As long as an individual remains identified with this bundle, they will necessarily have a role model. While some might suggest making the ultimate or God a role model, Acharya Prashant points out that the ultimate has no qualities to copy; one can only surrender to it rather than imitate it. He concludes by stating that having a role model is a direct result of being conditioned and identified, urging the individual to reflect on whether such a state is beneficial or harmful for their own life.
