Acharya Prashant explains that the mind should not be suppressed or forced into activities that cause internal conflict. He argues that if a student struggles to wake up for a competitive exam, it may be a sign that the goal is not aligned with their true nature. He points out that many people fail or score poorly in exams because they were never meant to be there in the first place, but were pushed by societal expectations. He emphasizes that one should live naturally and engage in work that feels effortless and spontaneous rather than forced.
