Acharya Prashant states that people often come to him and, in a moment of honesty, admit that despite keeping his company and listening to his words, they did not get what they wanted. They carry a lot of pain in their hearts because of this. He then asks them rhetorically, "Aren't you grateful to me that you did not get all that you wanted?" He clarifies that his job is not to give people what they want. Instead, he asks them to compare their state before coming to him with their current state and questions if they would ever want to revert to their former selves. They invariably reply that they would never want to be like they were before, acknowledging that their past self was foolish, harbored laughable delusions, and couldn't see things that were obvious. Acharya Prashant advises them to then keep quiet and move forward in life in the right direction. He explains that the core issue is their flawed definitions. Their definition of peace comes from a restless mind, so their definition of peace is wrong. Their definition of lightness comes from a very heavy center, so their definition of lightness is wrong. Their definition of well-being and joy comes from a center of great intoxication and unconsciousness, so those definitions are also wrong. He asserts that his purpose is not to provide false peace, joy, or lightness according to these flawed definitions. His job is to fix their internal 'thermometer,' to change their very standards and value systems. His work is to shed light on these systems so they can learn to value the right things and stop giving importance to foolishness. He illustrates this with examples of their flawed definitions of peace, such as getting revenge on an enemy, which brings a false sense of coolness to the heart. He points out that their definition of joy is tied to sensory pleasures, like the joy felt from eating a new flavor of mutton pizza. He states that on the path of truth, such joys will not be found; in fact, their previous joys will be taken away, which is a common complaint. Similarly, their idea of lightness is to drown their sorrows in alcohol with friends on a weekend after a stressful week at a menial job. He emphasizes that this kind of lightness will not be found on the path of truth. He urges them to first correct their definitions and fill their words with the right meaning. True lightness, he says, is indeed found on the path of truth, but one can only experience and respect this new lightness after acknowledging how heavy they were before spirituality.
