Acharya Prashant questions the very existence of worldly pleasures, suggesting that what people commonly refer to as pleasure is often a mask for underlying misery. He observes that if individuals were truly happy, they would not require intoxicants to forget their state or seek constant external validation through social media. He argues that the pursuit of flimsy pleasures is merely a confirmation of an internal state of suffering and that true happiness is an internal confirmation that does not need to be advertised to others. Spirituality, therefore, is not about renouncing something real but about discarding false pleasures and suffering to attain genuine joy. He explains that true joy, or Ananda, is unconditional, continuous, and uncaused. Unlike worldly pleasures, it does not depend on external factors such as material discounts, intoxicants, or the circumstances of others. This state of joy is a subtle internal presence that refuses to be miserable even in the face of great adversity or physical death. He emphasizes that Vedanta encourages individuals to be adamant and not settle for anything less than this eternal joy, which time and conditions cannot take away. Acharya Prashant concludes that real success for an individual is the attainment of this internal joy, regardless of external activities. While one may possess money and engage in relationships, these should be seen as secondary to the pursuit of something deeper and more reliable. He urges people to seek a state of being that is eternally secure and wholeheartedly trustworthy, rather than living in the flow of time where everything is unreliable and transient.
