Acharya Prashant explains that the purpose of life is not a matter of opinion but a direct response to the subject's internal state. He clarifies that we seek a purpose because we do not feel alright as we are; there is a sense of restlessness and a lack of fulfillment within. While humanity has historically pursued power, knowledge, money, and prestige to fill this void, these pursuits do not lead to an end of desire. Instead, they often fuel further hunger because there is no such thing as absolute power or exhaustive knowledge that can satiate the seeker.
