Description

Acharya Prashant explains that while goals are necessary for physical and financial sustenance, they should not be imbued with personal meaning. He clarifies that life is essentially a meaningless affair in terms of its objects; meaning, if it exists at all, is contained within the living being or the game itself, rather than the end goal. He advises that one should approach daily tasks like going to the gym or the office without the expectation of inner fulfillment or desire. If a goal is achieved or not, the inner state of the individual should remain equanimous and unchanged.
