Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the suggestion by some industrialists that people should work 70 hours a week. He begins by stating that the issue is not the number of hours worked but the quality of the work. He uses the analogy of an ox in an oil press, which can be made to work for 100 hours, not just 70. This will result in more oil, but what does the ox get? The point is about the quality of work, not the quantity. Doing useless work for 140 hours will still yield nothing but more oil. If an ox works for 140 hours, it will only produce more oil, nothing else. He explains that when you do the right work, you forget to count the hours. He quotes Sant Kabir, "When the mind is engrossed in love, who counts the date and the day?" When you love your work, you don't count the hours. He also refers to Baba Bulleh Shah, who said, "Throw away the clock, my beloved has come home," and, "The clock strikes every hour, reducing the night of union with the beloved." The speaker contrasts this with the mindset of a mercenary, who is always counting the minutes because there is no love, only a transaction. The thumping of the heart and the ticking of the clock cannot go together. Either the heart will beat, or the clock will tick. Acharya Prashant clarifies that not counting hours is different from being forced to work long hours. He points out that many people are unhappy because their work is not their love. They complain about their company because the work is bad, not just because the salary is average. The complaint is not that the work is of poor quality, but that the input-output ratio is not good. He emphasizes that the education system does not teach the importance of meaningful work, or Karma Yoga. Work is not just a means of livelihood; it is life, worship, and love. He concludes by stating that if one has to choose a job, the only criterion should not be who pays the most for the least amount of work. Instead, one should seek meaningful work.
