Acharya Prashant explains that life is inherently purposeless and that any attempt to assign a purpose to it is merely a mental construct. He argues that purposes are derived from the mind and often lead to suffering because they are rooted in future results rather than the present action. Using the analogy of a wave and the ocean, he suggests that just as a wave does not need a personal agenda because it is moved by the ocean, a human being does not need to be driven by personal objectives. True living happens when one is in a state of totality and stillness, free from the compulsive need to achieve or plan.
