Acharya Prashant explains that a person's definition of India depends entirely on their level of self-identification. For one who is body-identified, India is perceived merely as a geographical landmass or a territory delimited by political boundaries. Such a mind relates to the nation as the body relates to the world, driven by survival, expansion, and the extraction of resources. This perspective leads to insecurity, conflict, and a constant fear of extinction, as the nation is viewed as a physical entity that will eventually cease to exist.
