Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is a bundle of conflicting influences from society, media, religion, biology, and past experiences. These influences often clash, creating internal contradictions and suffering, which he describes as the state of fragmentation or 'Viyog'. In this state, a person operates from multiple centersāsuch as greed in professional life or attachment in family lifeāleading to a lack of inherent order and a life dictated by external situations and identities. This lack of a common center makes one a slave to circumstances, where the self changes according to the environment.
