Acharya Prashant explains that the fear of what others will think arises primarily when one has entered into unspoken social or familial contracts. He illustrates this with the example of a son who accepts financial support from his father in exchange for giving up control over his career and life decisions. When the son decides to follow his own path, he feels guilt not because he is doing something wrong, but because he is breaking this 'contract.' He emphasizes that people only care about the opinions of those from whom they expect something or with whom they have a transactional relationship. To overcome this, one must realize that if their actions are for the greater good or personal liberation, they are not harming others, and therefore, the guilt is misplaced. He further discusses the concept of 'consciousness level' as the true measure of a person's stature, rather than age or social status. He suggests that if someone with a lower level of consciousness criticizes you, their opinion should be treated as insignificantly as a child's tantrum. He introduces a mental technique of viewing critics through a 'consciousness lens,' which diminishes their perceived authority based on their lack of spiritual depth. By focusing on the height of one's own consciousness and the value of their work, the noise of external criticism naturally fades away. Finally, Acharya Prashant addresses career choices and entrepreneurship, stating that true passion and love for one's work make external validation unnecessary. He shares his own experience of starting an organization to teach the Upanishads, noting that his deep love for the subject gave him the confidence that others would eventually find value in it too. He advises that if a work is truly great and universal, like the teachings of the Upanishads, it will inevitably find its audience and support. He encourages creative individuals, such as poets, to focus on the depth and quality of their expression rather than superficial trends, assuring them that the world provides for those who live authentically and purposefully.
