Acharya Prashant explains that the material world is defined by shapes, sizes, and characteristics that can be expressed as numbers. Since numbers are inherently comparable, comparison in the material realm is an inevitable fact and a matter of knowledge. He notes that physical attributes like height, weight, and blood pressure are measurable and comparing them is necessary for practical purposes, such as medical assessments or improving efficiency in tasks. However, he warns that comparison becomes a psychological disorder or a disease of the mind when it is applied to one's self-worth or essence. When individuals define themselves solely through numerical values like income, marks, or physical appearance, they often fall into inferiority complexes because there is always a higher number to be found. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the most valuable aspects of a human being—such as peace, understanding, silence, attentiveness, and love—cannot be captured by numbers or measured by any yardstick. He advises that while one should compare external expressions and material facts to facilitate growth and improvement, one must never compare their intrinsic value. He asserts that while the body or external achievements may have shortcomings, the inner self is essentially perfect, immeasurable, and vast. By recognizing that one's ability is incomparable and beyond digits, a person can move through the world boldly without feeling small or inferior, regardless of external results or comparisons.
