Acharya Prashant addresses the common feeling of lack of interest and boredom in one's activities, specifically in the context of engineering students. He explains that most people live their lives without being sure of what they are doing, treating their current actions merely as a means to an end rather than the end itself. When your interest lies solely in a future goal or destination, the time spent traveling toward that goal becomes boring, tiring, and burdensome. He uses the analogy of waiting for a train or traveling to a point B to illustrate that if the journey is not the goal, the experience will inevitably be uninterested and stressful. He further explains that work becomes interesting only when it is its own reward and not just a tool for future gain. Using examples of a professional working only for a salary check or a dancer performing only for audience applause, he highlights how dependency on external results leads to a life of waiting and frustration. He points out that students often find their studies boring because they are focused on the degree or a job four years away, rather than finding joy in the subjects they are learning. This constant focus on the future prevents one from experiencing the richness of the present moment. Acharya Prashant concludes that boredom is not a result of one's environment or specific field of study, but a result of the habit of using everything as a ladder to reach somewhere else. He emphasizes that the only interesting time and place is 'here and now.' To find interest in life, one must stop living in imaginations of the future or memories of the past and instead pay attention to the present. As long as one is driven by the desire to attain something imaginary in the future, the reality of the present will continue to seem dull and unappealing.
