Acharya Prashant explains that the universe is inherently random and does not operate according to human concepts of fairness or justice. He argues that the belief in a benevolent entity ensuring a just world is a fiction that people cling to because they are terrified of the material world's lack of meaning. While external events are beyond our control and often lack causality, he emphasizes that meaning can be found within the individual. He suggests that the only true purpose of life is to achieve inner sovereignty by getting rid of internal bondages through self-inquiry.
