Acharya Prashant responds to a question about leaving a corporate job that has become mundane. He explains that he never intended to have a corporate job in the first place. Even while studying management, it was clear to him that this was not his path. He had no inclination towards corporations or the concept of shareholder profit maximization. He recalls crying on his first day at IIM Ahmedabad, questioning why he was there. After the first trimester, he had already decided to leave. He found his way by visiting the Gandhi Ashram, where he started teaching children at an NGO. This activity required money, which motivated him to continue his studies. He also started doing plays in his second year. He emphasizes that he did not pursue an MBA for a corporate job. He describes his time in the corporate world as being like a tongue between thirty-two teeth or like Vibhishana in Lanka. It was always clear to him that the corporate environment was not the right place for him because he could easily spot dishonesty, pettiness, and cowardice, which he could not ignore. While it was clear what he did not want to do, what he wanted to do was not immediately apparent. He advises that as some clarity emerges, one must start moving in that direction, creating opportunities rather than just searching for them. Within two and a half years, it became clear to him that he would enter the field of education. He aimed to connect material education with a non-material side, though it wasn't initially clear that this would be spiritual. He started by linking classical literature, especially English, with leadership and offered courses in MBA colleges. In 2008, he created his first activity based on the Upanishads called 'So Said the Sages', and in 2009, one based on the words of saints called 'Kabir in Campus'. The following year, he began taking people to the mountains. He advises that whatever clarity is present, one should start moving in that direction, as moving forward brings more clarity. One cannot wait for the entire path to be revealed before taking the first step. Addressing a follow-up question about being part of a wrong system, Acharya Prashant dismisses the argument that if one person leaves, another will take their place, so the system continues regardless. He compares this to the logic of eating meat because the animal is already dead and someone else would buy it anyway. He states that this is a terrible argument. One must think for oneself. If doing a wrong act harms you, you must not do it. He concludes by saying that one has to go through fire to become pure gold or steel. It is better to go through the fire of life while alive, rather than as a corpse.
