Acharya Prashant begins by explaining that there is no difference between a priority and a habit. He states that every priority is, in fact, a habit. No habit will ever present itself as a mere habit; instead, it will always claim to be a priority. He asserts that everything one calls a priority is simply a habit. If there were no habits, there would be no priorities. The existence of priorities contradicts the state of equanimity ('sambhav'), which means having no priorities and recognizing only one fundamental truth. Instead of prioritization, which involves making choices, Acharya Prashant introduces the concept of 'samyakta' (rightness or appropriateness). Prioritization implies having choices, for instance, deciding that X is more important than Y. In contrast, 'samyakta' is choiceless. Right action ('samyak karma') means there is only one path, only X, with no alternative like Y. When one has to choose or select an action, it signifies that the other options still hold power and influence. He cautions that if one is in a position of choosing, the force of the other, less appropriate options might even increase. Acharya Prashant elaborates that the act of "thinking about it" is itself an act of choosing. The authentic and real action is not born of prolonged thought. When one thinks, one returns to their conditioned domain and makes a decision from that limited space. True clarity is spontaneous. If one needs to think extensively before acting, it is better not to act at all. On fundamental questions of life, such as those concerning love, truth, or liberation, if a person hesitates even for a moment before affirming, that person is being false. This immediate, unthinking response is what it means to be causeless ('akaran'). Thought is always bound by cause and reason. To be causeless is to act simply because the source has called; the call itself is the only reason needed.
