Acharya Prashant addresses an apparent contradiction between the idea that real values are unshakeable and the advice to give up one's values. He explains that the mind can only discover what is truly valuable when it discards trivial, man-made values. These man-made values include prestige, respect, power, money, security, and social validation. As long as the mind is cluttered with these conditioned values, there is no room for truth or inquiry. He emphasizes that our common values are artificial and acquired through social conditioning and biological history stored in the DNA. He describes the process of reaching essential values as emptying the mind of all contents obtained from others, time, and history. When the mind is cleared of this 'garbage,' what remains is a state of emptiness, cleanliness, and clarity. This emptiness is the fundamental truth and the core value, which is not man-made but existential. This essential core expresses itself through the mind as truth, joy, love, and freedom. These four qualities are unshakeable because they arise from an inner emptiness rather than human construction. Acharya Prashant distinguishes between man-made happiness and existential joy, noting that the former is superficial while the latter is essential. He concludes that one must give up man-made values to realize existential values. Attachment to man-made values leads to a poor life lacking in truth, love, and freedom. Only by removing the artificial can one experience the radiance of the essential core.
