Acharya Prashant addresses the dilemma of whether to stay in a struggling region or migrate for better prospects, referencing the advice of Chanakya. He explains that Chanakya was a strategist whose advice to leave a place where one cannot earn a livelihood or respect is practical for ordinary people. For a common person, staying in a deprived area might lead to moral degradation as they struggle for survival. Therefore, following such a policy is a sound strategy for the masses to ensure their well-being and dignity. However, Acharya Prashant distinguishes between the ordinary person and the spiritual individual. While an ordinary person follows the path of least resistance, a spiritual person often moves against the current. He notes that staying in a difficult place is often a sign of laziness, where individuals lack the energy to seek better opportunities. In contrast, a spiritual person chooses to remain in or return to a troubled area because the place requires their presence and effort to bring about change. He concludes that if one possesses spiritual fearlessness, they should embrace the challenges of such regions to transform them. While practical ethics and economics serve the masses, a higher life requires the guidance of spirituality rather than just policy.
