Choices are a sign of confusion || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)
Questioner: Sir, it is told to us that options create confusion in one’s life. But wherever we go, whatever we want to do, we have to search for options. Why?
Acharya Prashant: The question, rather this statement has to be clearly understood.
‘Options create confusion.’
What it means is that when you really understand, then there are no options.
When you really understand then there are no options, then there is great clarity of vision.
To have options means that I have still not understood. So options is a penultimate stage.You see, in the process of decision-making what do you do? Do you remain with options forever? No!
Listener: Sir, but you choose the best.
Acharya Prashant: Yes! The penultimate, less than the ultimate. In clear and complete understanding, options disappear. What would you say about a man who constantly, perennially finds himself in the middle of options, always? Confused. Right?
