Acharya Prashant explains that the primary cause of anxiety and the loss of calmness is the intrusion of the world and its thoughts into one's consciousness. He notes that while deep sleep is naturally calm, restlessness arises when worldly thoughts or dreams interfere. To maintain peace, he advises against allowing worldly matters to become overly important. He suggests that one should live and act in the world while maintaining a sense of disregard or indifference toward external opinions and rewards. This indifference, he argues, is actually necessary for true passion, as it prevents external factors from dominating or compromising one's drive. He refers to the scriptural concept of being indifferent or unbothered by worldly outcomes. He further clarifies that one should remain occupied with worldly activities only as long as they are like a game or a plaything. The moment an activity begins to violate one's inner peace, it must be dropped. He emphasizes that peace is invaluable and that living in tension is the natural penalty for making the wrong decisions regarding what one values. Addressing his own background, he explains that education from prestigious institutions like IIT and IIM should empower and liberate an individual rather than becoming a burden or a source of attachment. He concludes that the purpose of education and wisdom is to provide the freedom to act independently of societal compulsions.
