When you are really sure, all your energy rises into action || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2012)

Acharya Prashant: Energy arises when you know what you are doing. Life is inert and boring when you do not know what you are really doing. You have no interest in doing anything.

All of you are sitting here. There are many of you who are looking here and there. Many of you are on the verge of sleeping. All this is happening because many of you do not know what is happening here, why they are sitting here. When action comes out of understanding, then a lot of energy opens up, then you are alive and young, over flowing with energy. And that is life, that is the joy of life, not this yawning.

This is not how a twenty-two year old kid is supposed to look like. This is not youth.

Have you ever tried to understand why this happens? Why life is so dull, so boring?

Because only an intelligent life can be exciting.

When this life is not yours, when you are living it according to a script, then how will you have any energy in living it? Is that how you want to live? Is that how you want to pass your these two years? If you don’t want to pass your these two years that way then the first step is to be attentive and also the last step.
