Acharya Prashant explains that the very meaning of competition is fear. Only fearful people compete and race; only a scared mind is competitive. In contrast, a healthy mind never compares itself with others, as comparison is the essence of competition. A healthy mind lives in itself and works for its own joy, not to leave others behind. The feeling of wanting to defeat others is not found in a healthy mind. It does not live in comparison and knows itself, so it never thinks that getting ahead of others will make it great or falling behind will make it small. Such petty thoughts do not arise in it. However, our minds are filled with comparison. We are less concerned with what we have and more with what others have, which is proof of deep restlessness. The speaker questions why the mind is always immersed in competition and asks if one can do anything for their own joy. For instance, one can study because they enjoy it, not because someone else is also studying. Anything important in life, like love, cannot be a competition. One does not compete when embracing a loved one; the idea itself is vulgar. One who competes, even in the competition they are engaged in, will fall behind. This is because, for them, getting ahead is necessary, not the act itself. The competitive mind's focus is on getting ahead of the other person, not on what it is doing. When one's focus is on others and not on oneself, the work is bound to be ruined, and no excellence or achievement can be attained. This is why a person who competes their whole life gets nothing and never will. The alternative is to stop caring about others and do things for your own sake, for your own joy. One should remove the thought of what others are thinking. It is my joy, so I am doing it. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad; it's my fun, and I don't have to answer to anyone. I have no responsibility to do what others are doing. My path is different. In love, people can meet, but in competition, the goal is to bring the other down. Where there is competition, there is no love. This is the reason there is so much violence in the world. Our schools and colleges teach competition from childhood, filling the child's mind with the idea of getting ahead of everyone. This is violence. When you tell someone to leave others behind, you are surely causing pain to those left behind. From childhood, we are taught to inflict pain on others. Then we wonder why there are fights, riots, and why nations try to bring each other down. It's because this is the training we have received. Competition is fear, and competition is violence.
