Acharya Prashant begins by stating that the session is for the audience to drive, as he has no specific message or agenda of his own. He will simply respond to their questions. When asked about the process of decision-making and how to determine if a decision is right or wrong, he explains that all decisions originate from a certain state of mind. We are at a particular internal point, which he calls 'Point A', and we are not alright with it, which is why we feel the need to move to some other point. If we were perfectly okay where we are, there would be no need to make a decision. Life is a continuous movement because we are never perfectly okay with where we are and how we are. He elaborates that the process of decision-making is fundamentally flawed because we focus on the available options and destinations (Points B, C, D, etc.) without first thoroughly investigating our starting point (Point A). We are constantly thinking about the pros and cons of various options, but the most crucial element, our current state, is overlooked. The mind prefers to indulge in imaginations about the future and other places rather than introspecting on its present reality, because looking at the current state of dissatisfaction is painful and requires discipline and watchfulness. The mind finds more fun in dealing with colorful imaginations. Acharya Prashant uses the analogy of a bad doctor who prescribes medicines without a proper diagnosis. Similarly, we are bad doctors to ourselves, seeking remedies for our dissatisfaction without understanding our current condition. The real problem is internal, but we seek external solutions, which is why our endeavors fail to bring lasting satisfaction. This flawed process is the reason for the paradoxes of our time: despite unprecedented material prosperity, technology, and knowledge, humanity is more depressed and closer to ecological catastrophe than ever before. This is the result of moving without knowing. The first and most important step in decision-making, he concludes, is to ask, "Why do I need to make a decision at all? What is wrong with my current situation?" The only valid criterion for any decision is one's own inner welfare. Therefore, self-knowledge is the key. Before considering where to go, one must first know where one is, who one is, and what one truly needs. Without understanding the real problem, which is internal, any solution sought will be ineffective. We must first know our current ailment before we can find the right course of betterment.
