Acharya Prashant clarifies the phrase 'many are called but few are chosen' by emphasizing that the caller does not discriminate; rather, the choice to respond lies entirely with the individual. He explains that while the call for liberation and truth is extended to everyone, most people are too intoxicated by their own habits, patterns, and unconsciousness to hear it. Using the analogy of a bird in a cage, he notes that for one who desires flight, a sound is an inspiration, but for one who wishes to remain imprisoned, the same sound becomes a threat. The listener's own internal state determines how they perceive the call for freedom.
