Acharya Prashant addresses the nature of expectations and success, questioning whether success is truly a result of constant expectation or the natural outcome of being in a healthy, focused state. Using the analogy of a tree bearing fruit, he explains that fruit grows due to the tree's health and proper nourishment, not because of expectations. He emphasizes that success in any endeavor, such as an exam or a race, comes from being completely immersed in the action itself. When the mind wanders toward expectations or the past, as illustrated by the example of Milkha Singh, performance suffers. He argues that expectations have no real connection to achieving success and often act as a distraction that hinders one's ability to act rightly in the present moment.
