Acharya Prashant explains that Lao Tzu’s teachings warn against the dangers of valuing worldly objects, ideologies, and role models. He states that adoring the 'worthy' often leads to disputes because people end up emulating external actions and turning words into rigid principles rather than reaching the source of truth. When individuals subscribe to opposing ideologies, conflict becomes inevitable. Similarly, valuing hard-to-get material objects leads to social chaos and robbery because worldly resources are limited and in short supply. In contrast, the truth is infinite and can be shared by everyone without diminishing, meaning that a pursuit of truth eliminates conflict. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that worldly desires and lust lead to a confused heart. He compares the beginning of a worldly desire to a fuse that, once lit, becomes an unstoppable chain reaction of trouble. He advises following the wisdom of Indian scriptures by not allowing the senses to engage with things that lead one off the right track. Regarding the role of a saint, he explains that a saint helps people remain innocent of worldly knowledge by acting as a mirror and exposing the suffering that cleverness and worldly ambitions bring. By showing people the reality of their own lack of peace, the saint encourages them to move toward their natural essence and the ultimate truth.
