Acharya Prashant explains that the strength to make a right decision follows from the choice itself. He describes the right choice as a form of benediction or grace. When one makes the right choice, they are essentially surrendering to a larger principle, which then begins to take care of them. The individual's primary task is to choose this "big right thing," and subsequently, strength and help will emerge from various directions, most importantly from within. To address how one can know which choice elevates consciousness, Acharya Prashant suggests looking at the opposite: how one knows a choice depresses consciousness. Using the example of consuming intoxicants, he points out that a lowered state of consciousness is characterized by an inability to think properly, a loss of control over one's actions and emotions, and an incapacity to respond appropriately to situations. If one can recognize the signs of a lowered state, they can also recognize the signs of an elevated one. An elevated choice is one that facilitates clear thought and arises from a state of thoughtfulness, not thoughtlessness. He further clarifies that many people's choices are based on an external moral compass or instructions from others, such as parental advice. Such choices, lacking a foundation in personal understanding and realization, do not possess genuine strength and are easily defeated by temptation, fear, or external circumstances. A choice made from a sense of moral obligation is weak because it comes from an unconscious place. To make choices that are truly right and have inherent strength, one must delve into the reasons behind the choice. This requires a deep investigation of one's own life, mind, and thoughts. The speaker advises that the source of this knowledge is a combination of self-observation and studying the wisdom of the sages, such as Vedanta. Instead of relying on a pre-written manual of do's and don'ts, one should cultivate a clear realization from which right decisions can be made spontaneously. The right thing must be done from the right place and for the right reasons to have power.
