Acharya Prashant addresses the issues of self-doubt and self-criticism by explaining that these feelings often arise from the ego's desire for perfection. He suggests that we should view ourselves as material configurations and processes within nature, which are inherently limited and constantly changing. By looking at ourselves impersonally, we can see facts as they are without the distortion of personal shame or comparative judgment. He uses the analogy of grass and an oak tree to illustrate that everything has its own right to exist and its own beauty; it is a mistake to demand that the grass perform like an oak. Real self-doubt should be directed toward the 'denominator'—the imaginary standards and ambitions created by the ego—rather than one's actual performance. He emphasizes that greatness does not lie in achieving infinite productivity but in being a detached observer of one's own body, mind, and thoughts. When we relieve ourselves of the demands and expectations we place on ourselves, our internal systems often function better. Acharya Prashant advises focusing on whether an action is worth doing rather than the results it produces. He references the Bhagavad Gita, noting that Shri Krishna does not promise Arjun victory, but rather focuses on doing the right thing. By immersing oneself fully in the right work, one can overcome loneliness and the anxiety of future results. Ultimately, one is not judged by performance levels or talents, but by the wisdom to choose the right path and the courage to remain faithful to it.
