Acharya Prashant addresses the common human tendency to take excessive responsibility for others, which often stems from a sense of guilt. He explains that unless a person is a small child, everyone is responsible for themselves. When you interfere in someone's life to the extent of managing their smallest tasks, such as waking them up, you are not just helping them but also asserting control over their life. This deep involvement prevents the other person from becoming independent and free. He emphasizes that a mature adult should not need another person for trivial matters, as these small dependencies eventually turn into significant bonds that trap both the giver and the receiver.
