Acharya Prashant explains that to find one's purpose, one must begin from where they are. He states that a person's purpose does not come from a vacuum; rather, you are the context of your purpose. Therefore, one must look at themselves—their bondages, troubles, fears, and desires. Since everyone suffers, has inner angst, and unfulfilled desires, the immediate purpose becomes to get rid of these troubles. Your own welfare is the purpose. To realize this, one must be very honest with oneself. It is necessary to admit your fears, inadequacies, what haunts you, and your real pain points. This self-honesty determines your purpose. If internal troubles exist, it is pointless to run after other things. The speaker uses an analogy: if you have a heartache, it is futile to chase luxury cars, as you might find yourself in a luxury car but still with a heartache. The car is external and fleeting, while the inner ache is constant. The purpose should not be determined by looking at the market or external opportunities, as this is not a wise way. Your purpose must arise from your own particular, personal, current state, which nobody else fully knows. To act on this purpose, you must use all the resources you have—your intellect, education, money, and muscles—and devote your entire being to resolving your inner conflict. The real purpose of knowledge is not to yield riches or comforts, which are secondary, but to bring you to an inner fulfillment, which is the purpose of life. Just as the purpose of a car is to reach a destination and not merely to enjoy the air conditioning, the primary goal of life's journey is inner resolution, with external achievements being secondary comforts.
