Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the conflict between personal decisions and the pressure of experience imposed by elders and society. He clarifies that while experience is valuable for repetitive skills and technical tasks, it holds little significance in the fundamental decisions of life. Life is a continuous flow of new moments, and a conscious person perceives this freshness, whereas an unconscious person sees only repetition. He argues that experience often results in mental rigidity and the accumulation of layers of conditioning rather than wisdom, love, or joy. If experience truly led to enlightenment, all elderly people would be wise, yet many are filled with bitterness and frustration. Therefore, one should not blindly follow the advice of the 'experienced' if their own lives lack peace and light.
