Acharya Prashant expresses that he cannot understand how a young man or woman aged 26, 28, or 30 can sit at home and eat, calling it a terrible thing. He contrasts this with figures like Bhagat Singh and Rajguru, who had achieved so much by the age of 22, while today's youth at 26 or 30 claim they don't understand anything yet. He points out that the comfort of home, with a mother serving meals and a father's lifelong earnings available, makes it difficult for them to leave and work hard. He urges them to do something, anything, even if it doesn't generate income, simply because they are young. The speaker suggests that if one cannot think of anything to do, they should travel across India but not sit at home. He advises them to learn an art, a sport, enroll in a course, or acquire some knowledge. He warns that idleness leads to internal decay, giving the example of someone trying for a government job for six years. This internal decline begins when you start calling yourself unemployed. A similar decay affects housewives who no longer have significant household responsibilities but remain at home. While he understands a woman might need a two-to-four-year break for pregnancy, he questions what a 40-year-old woman with grown children and domestic help does all day. He warns that this free time will swallow them, leading to a great decline. This advice is also extended to retired people. Acharya Prashant states that 58 or 60 is not an old age. When people retire from government jobs and sit at home, despite having another 25 years to live, they are wasting their lives, which also leads to internal decay and neurosis. He observes that these three groups—retired people, housewives at home, and the so-called unemployed youth—are the ones who watch TV shows like 'Kumkum Bhagya' extensively. He notes that hardworking people like factory workers, soldiers, farmers, or businessmen do not have time for such things. He concludes by calling this idleness a great erosion of youth power, women's power, human power, and national power, with everyone having an excuse for sitting idle.
