Acharya Prashant responds to a student who is considering quitting his MSc in Physics because he feels it will not bring him peace. Acharya Prashant explains that, as Shri Krishna states in the Bhagavad Gita, a living being has no option to quit action. Action will continue to happen. Pursuing a course is an action, and quitting it would also be an action, as both decisions originate from the 'actor'. As long as the actor is playing himself out, it is called an action, so one cannot quit acting. The core message of the Bhagavad Gita, he clarifies, is not to stop acting but to "act not for yourself." Acting for oneself will not bring contentment or peace. The instruction is to act for the sake of Krishna. Here, 'Krishna' is used as a euphemism, a metaphor, or a symbol for completion, freedom, peace, and totality. This is in contrast to the feeling of incompleteness that guides the actor. The actor is described as a point driven by this sense of incompleteness. The speaker outlines two ways the actor can function. The first is to work for himself, which means working in a way that continues his incompleteness. The reward sought in this mode is the maintenance of one's existence, security, and assurance. This is the common mode of operation for most people. The second way, as advised by Shri Krishna, is to work for 'me' (Krishna), which means working to reach a point that is dimensionally different from what you currently are. It is to work for something beyond the self. Therefore, the crucial question is not whether to pursue the MSc, but for what purpose it is being pursued. If the motivation is personal pleasure, a secure job, or respect, it is the common mode of self-perpetuation. The alternative is to dedicate one's knowledge to something beyond the self, which is another possible way of living. The choice is between working for yourself, which means wanting to remain as you are, or working for 'me' (Krishna), which means working for something beyond yourself.
