Questioner: Sir, in a lot of your talks you redirect our focus towards ourselves. As living beings, all of us seek contentment and happiness. So, my question to you is, how can one be content without being complacent? How does one achieve that?
Acharya Prashant: See, complacency can be there only when you have just not bothered to inquire into the facts of your life.

So, there is sickness, incompleteness, dissatisfaction, psychosis and we are anxious, afraid. And when the placement season comes, then we are jittery, and when the next fellow gets a higher pay package, then we are jealous.

Either that, or we are so afraid that we just donтАЩt even want to inquire within.
