Acharya Prashant advises to be very guarded against one's own confidence. He explains that unfortunately, the world we live in places a lot of premium upon confidence, which is the very thing the ego wants, though it doesn't need it. The ego needs clarity but wants confidence. This is described as the age of confidence, the age of chests puffed out, and of people who say, "I know, I am sorted, and see, I made it." The poster boys of modern civilization, such as those successful in corporations, academics, or who rule countries and sit atop governing boards, are the "know-alls." These confident individuals believe they either know something or know how to know it. For them, there are only two halves: that which they already know, and that which they are about to know. Their lack of humility and spirituality forbids them from admitting that there is a dimension of the unknowable. The speaker asserts that whether it's a university professor or a high-flying corporate executive, they are exactly alike in this respect—they both know and are very sure. While they might see themselves as opposites, they are actually "birds of the same feather" as they both believe they have "made it" and are sure of what life is all about. In contrast, Arjun in the Mahabharat battlefield is presented as the odd one out in this crowd of confident people. He is the only one who is trembling. The speaker assures that one will tremble when looking for clarity, and what trembles is one's false clarity. Therefore, when seeking sureness, it is more important to watch out against one's false surenesses. All that Arjun took as true so far is trembling; his false confidence and false conclusions are trembling like a dilapidated and hollow building being attacked. The function of Truth is to demolish. When Truth is knocking, one's false walls will tremble. If one is a real lover of Truth, then their false truths will have to shiver and tremble. The speaker concludes that if someone has never been terrified by the approach of Truth, it means they are an obstinate sucker for falseness and an incurable patient of chronic falseness. If the approaching footsteps of Truth do not make you tremble, you are a patient of chronic falseness.
