Acharya Prashant addresses a question about the mind being unable to make the right decisions at the right time and wandering among various goals. He explains that the mind wanders towards different external goals because it does not know the one thing it truly needs internally. All the goals you set externally, and all the things that attract you from the outside, are reflections of something sitting inside. If you do not know internally what is valuable in life, then you will not be clear about what is valuable externally, what you should attain, or which goal you should invest your time, life, and energy in. When this clarity is absent, one has to do something, as the mind, body, and life are names for movement. Consequently, a person starts running after absurd and temporary goals. Such a person becomes like a rolling stone, swayed by a little greed or running away from a minor loss, trouble, or challenge. Their mind becomes like road traffic, with thoughts coming and going without any special connection to each other. The fundamental principle is that the external goals you set depend on what you value internally. If you have fifty external goals, it means you value fifty things internally, but you don't give complete value to any single one of them. There is nothing in your life that is so precious to you that you would leave everything else for it. When a person is in such a state, they are like a child in front of a movie screen, captivated by every changing scene, without any inner stability or self-possession. The speaker emphasizes that internal clarity is necessary. He states that you are not entangled externally; you are entangled internally. You do not know what is truly important inside. To find this out, you must seek the company of those who have dedicated their entire lives to knowing this. Spirituality is the work of making a weak person powerful. It is about challenging one's physical and mental weaknesses and doing what the body might not naturally want to do. This work is difficult and cannot be done alone, which is why spiritual texts are needed as support. They provide the vision to see beyond the mechanical self.
