Acharya Prashant asserts that one's actions must show what one claims to believe in, questioning whether life is a daily demonstration of hypocrisy. He observes that most people's lives are such; they claim devotion to the Truth but continue with their mundane routines like going to the office. He argues that if one is truly devoted, every movement, every breath, every morsel, and every sip must be in the service of the Lord. One must ask themselves if they are a dishonest apostate, and to avoid this, every action must be accounted for. The speaker challenges the idea that one can "just live." He compares a conditioned person to a prisoner behind bars who cannot just live but must live for a purpose. He dismisses quoting saints who spoke of a purposeless life, explaining that those saints were not prisoners, whereas the people reading their words are. Such people cannot claim to have no purpose, as their lives are not freely flowing but are commanded by various social and nonsensical forces. He criticizes the romanticized notion of "going with the flow," comparing the flow of a conditioned life to a gutter and questioning who is being fooled by this idea. Acharya Prashant emphasizes the need for constant self-interrogation about the purpose behind every action. He mentions the saying, "The Lord will ask for an explanation," and states that one must keep a ledger for every hour. One must be able to explain how the last hour was spent and whether it contributed to their liberation. Every single action—be it taking a step, uttering a word, or reading a book—must be questioned. He asks if these actions are done to move towards the "holy peak," towards silence, and towards liberation. If not, then there is a big problem.
