Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who, despite having a government job, does not find the peace of mind he desires. The speaker questions the very premise of this expectation, asking if one takes up a government job for the purpose of attaining peace. He uses an analogy, stating it is like eating a jalebi and then complaining about not achieving 'samadhi' (a state of meditative consciousness). He points out that when people desperately try for government jobs, they are not doing so to attain 'samadhi'. The application form for the job does not mention 'samadhi' as a benefit, so one should not hold such an expectation. The speaker explains that one can only get from an action what that action is intended to provide. He extends this logic to other life choices, such as marriage, where people often have similar misplaced expectations of finding peace. He humorously notes that sometimes people marry to escape a peaceful state, yet still complain about the lack of peace. The fundamental error is to expect a higher result than what the action was intended for, which he compares to knowingly buying pebbles and then complaining about not getting diamonds. He observes that a vast number of people in India, across all ages, are pursuing government jobs, but this pursuit is not for spiritual fulfillment. Acharya Prashant clarifies that any job, whether private or government, can only provide what it is designed to give. He then explains that mental restlessness arises from two sources: personal matters (like events at home or in one's past) and public or social matters (events in the wider world). To find peace, one must confront both these aspects, eliminate what can be eliminated, and create distance from what cannot. He also addresses the converse error: making a material problem, like earning a livelihood, a spiritual question. If the issue is about money, it is a matter of mathematics and financial analysis, not spirituality. He concludes by stating that humans exist on two levels: the gross (body) and the subtle (mind). Both require their own specific nourishment. Material things, like a job, provide for the gross level, but cannot provide the peace required for the subtle level of the mind.
