Acharya Prashant addresses a young man's dilemma between his passion for mountaineering and his realization that his meaningful work lies in teaching and writing. He advises that if one has identified a meaningful work, it should be the first priority, as nothing is higher than that. He points out that the questioner himself does not intend to pursue mountaineering full-time, but only for some time. Therefore, this passion can be pursued alongside a life dedicated to teaching and writing, resolving the apparent conflict. Acharya Prashant observes that the questioner does not seem to have a great greed for money or position, which is beneficial. He explains that the love for mountains has saved the questioner because one cannot climb with a lot of baggage, such as a large family or possessions. This love for simplicity will prevent him from accumulating the burdens that keep one in the 'valleys' of life. He suggests a practical path: teach the youth, then go climb a mountain, come down and write a travelogue, and when the money runs out, return to teaching. He notes that one does not starve in the field of teaching. Finally, Acharya Prashant offers a word of caution, urging the young man to remain alert. He states that he has seen many talented and dreamy youths from top institutions whose grand plans quickly evaporate into mundane lives. He warns that the aspirational 'mountains and their peaks' can very quickly turn into a '2BHK apartment'. He concludes with the metaphorical advice that if one has to climb mountains, one should only climb mountains, implying that one must remain dedicated to the higher calling and not get entangled in worldly pursuits that masquerade as high achievements.
