Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding confusion about self-love and the routine nature of life. He explains that the very act of asking for clarity is proof that one loves oneself, as clarity is the inherent nature of the self and no one enjoys staying in a state of confusion. He defines clarity as a negative term, signifying the absence of obstructing phenomena like fog or clouds, rather than the arrival of something new. Even extreme actions like suicide are described as a misguided display of self-love, where an individual cannot bear to see themselves suffer. He further elaborates on how human beings often corrupt this natural self-love by attaching conditions to it. While one might initially seek success because they love themselves, they often invert this priority and decide they will only love themselves if they are successful. In this process, the secondary goal becomes the center, and love is relegated to the periphery. Acharya Prashant cautions that while self-love is always present and inseparable from the self, it can become diluted and corrupted when one becomes a hostage to external methods and achievements rather than focusing on what is central.
