Acharya Prashant challenges the popular notion that no work is big or small, asking which scripture supports this idea. He asserts that work is indeed different in quality. If society and people had read the Gita, they would know that Shri Krishna clearly explains different types of actions: Sakam Karma (action with desire), Nishkam Karma (selfless action), Akarma (inaction), and Vikarma (forbidden action). If all actions were the same, they wouldn't be categorized differently. He dismisses the idea of 'popular wisdom' as a valid source of truth, comparing it to 'popular medicine' where one would take medicine based on a neighborhood poll, which is foolish. He questions why people don't seek answers about life from scriptures like the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Kathopanishad, Ashtavakra Gita, or from saints like Nanak and Kabir, who dedicated their lives to understanding life. Instead, they listen to their ignorant relatives who tell them that no work is big or small. If all work were equal, then working in a slaughterhouse would be the same as any other job. This would mean all states of consciousness are on the same level, and it wouldn't matter which action a consciousness chooses. The very talk of liberation (Mukti) would become meaningless because liberation is also a choice of the right action. If all actions are equal, then there is no right or wrong action. The word 'discernment' (Vivek) would also become meaningless, as its very meaning is to differentiate between right and wrong. He states that this foolish idiom, 'no work is big or small,' has become an excuse for people with weak intellects to choose the wrong actions in life. He extends this critique to other popular sayings, such as 'parents are the first gurus.' He argues that parents themselves need a guru and guidance, so how can they be gurus to their children? He urges people to be wary of such popular, conventional wisdom. He explains that understanding (Bodh) does not come from tradition (Parampara) but from mystery (Rahasya). He criticizes the tendency to follow ancestral or familial sayings over the words of Shri Krishna, pointing out the absurdity of valuing a grandfather's advice more than the wisdom of the Gita. He concludes by stating that this is how people ruin their children's lives, by imposing their own ignorance upon them.
