Acharya Prashant addresses the tendency to find faults in authority figures by advising not to suppress this tendency, but to give it completeness. He explains that finding factual faults in others is not inherently wrong, but it is an incomplete action. The problem arises when one only finds faults in others. This tendency should be completed by applying the same eagerness to find faults within oneself. The speaker states that this tendency is a way for the ego to derive pleasure. Expanding on this, Acharya Prashant applies the principle of completeness to the concept of authority. He agrees that it is perfectly fine not to accept the authority of others, especially if they are oppressive or try to dominate. However, this is also an incomplete idea. Just as one should not bow to external authorities, one must also not bow to the internal authority of the ego. He clarifies that both the world and the ego are external elements, and one's true self is neither. Therefore, just as one should not bow before the world, one should not bow before one's own ego. The speaker connects this issue to the modern era of liberalism and free-thinking. While individual freedom is a good thing, it becomes dangerous without a spiritual foundation. Today's individual possesses unprecedented freedom and power, a combination that can lead to great destruction if not guided by understanding. The modern disease is the notion of "my will," which is not truly one's own but a product of external conditioning and influences. The real oppressor is not outside but within, disguised as the "I" or the ego. Ultimately, the fight against oneself is more important than the fight against others. Acharya Prashant cites the example of Mahavir, who is revered for conquering himself, not for conquering the world. The challenge today is that people do not want to fight against themselves because they fail to recognize that their enemy lies within. Therefore, the modern age has a special need for spirituality, which provides the understanding necessary to handle the immense freedom and power available to individuals.
