Acharya Prashant explains that the root word of success is 'fruit' or result. He uses the metaphor of a tree to illustrate that while everyone desires the fruit, they often ignore the roots. Just as a paper tree cannot provide real fruit, superficial efforts do not lead to true success. He emphasizes that for a tree to bear fruit and reach the heights of the sky, its roots must go deep into the earth. In human life, these roots represent the 'core' or the 'unchangeable axis,' which remains stable even when the leaves and fruits fall away. This stable core is identified as 'witnessing' or 'consciousness.' He points out that people are often easily shaken by minor events, such as a comment on social media or a piece of news, which is a sign of shallow roots. True stability comes from being a witness—remaining calm and conscious amidst all the changes and activities of life. Acharya Prashant asserts that those who seek success must learn to live with awareness. He clarifies that being conscious does not mean being somber or serious; rather, it allows one to truly enjoy life and have fun. Without consciousness, one is merely drifting with the crowd, like a person sleeping with their eyes open. He concludes that consciousness itself is the greatest success, and for one who is truly aware, success follows naturally without being demanded.
