In response to a question about becoming mentally and emotionally stronger and protecting oneself from harmful content, Acharya Prashant begins by correcting the fundamental premise. He explains that strength is not something to be actively cultivated or learned; it is our innate nature, our very 'swabhav'. The real task is to de-cultivate or unlearn weakness. Strength is the purity of one's being, a natural ease ('sahajta'), not a showy or comparative quality used to fulfill desires. Weakness, on the other hand, is not innate but is imported and learned from external sources. Acharya Prashant uses the analogy of a diabetic person, stating that one doesn't need to learn to produce insulin, as it's a natural bodily function. The problem arises from consuming harmful substances, like sugar, which damage the system. Similarly, we do not lack strength; rather, we have an excess of debilitating influences that cover our natural strength. Weakness is anything that is not truly ours, anything that has been imported from the outside. This includes dependencies, attachments, and fears, which are all external elements that have seeped into our existence. These weaknesses are often introduced under the guise of love and care, such as by overprotective parents or friends who celebrate conditional successes, like a high-paying job. This conditional validation makes one anxious about preserving those external conditions. To address this, the first step is to stop the intake of these toxic influences by being vigilant about what one consumes mentally and emotionally. One must question the sources of their beliefs and feelings. He further explains that weakness is a foreign element, an import that comes to us via others, often disguised as something worth celebrating. He advises being cautious of celebrations and happiness, as what is celebrated as happiness today might be repented as misfortune later. The key is to challenge one's fears. By investigating the source of weakness, one discovers it is not original but came from somewhere external. This realization helps in blocking that source. Ultimately, the speaker asserts that we are not inherently weak; we are made to feel weak. Every bit of weakness is an external imposition. The way to awaken one's innate strength is to challenge one's fears. When you challenge your fears, even if you are beaten by them, your inner strength is awakened and you improve. He concludes that anyone who celebrates you conditionally is actually celebrating the conditions, not you. This conditional love is a source of weakness. True strength is realized by unlearning weakness and uncovering the power that already lies within.
