Description:
Acharya Prashant highlights the disconnect between the true teachings of the Gita and popular interpretations. He explains how a mind filled with desires becomes irrational, leading people to misinterpret reality and attribute fulfilled wishes to divine intervention. Using the analogy of rolling dice, he shows how repeated attempts increase success probability, which is falsely seen as divine blessings.

Unfulfilled desires are often blamed on negative karma, reinforcing ignorance and self-deception. Critiquing the astrology industry, he reveals how vague predictions gain credibility when they occasionally come true. He concludes with a simple algebraic trick, illustrating how ignorance can make people vulnerable to deception.
