Acharya Prashant explains that common notions of beauty and understanding are often based on deep-seated prejudices and conditioning. He argues that what we call beauty is frequently a conceptual design created to appeal to pre-existing mental patterns or commercial interests. True beauty, he asserts, is synonymous with realization and truth, as expressed in the phrase 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram'. He points out how human biases lead us to label certain animals as beautiful and others as ugly based on physical traits like color or texture, which are often rooted in biological conditioning and societal influence. He defines true beauty not as having a beautiful form, but as being established in one's essential nature.
