Acharya Prashant addresses a twenty-four-year-old individual who feels like a failure after failing a competitive interview seven times and is contemplating suicide. He challenges the notion of 'failure' and 'climax,' explaining that failing an exam is not the end of life. He points out that the individual has spent nearly a decade in preparation, and if they have learned anything about life during this time, those years were not wasted. He reassures the questioner that finding a livelihood is never an impossible task, as work eventually finds everyone. The real issue is whether one has gained wisdom from these experiences. Acharya Prashant criticizes the tendency to make a job or a worldly goal the center of one's existence. He explains that such intense devotion and 'penance' should only be reserved for the Truth or the Divine, not for a mere job. He questions why a job offer is being treated as if it were a letter of spiritual liberation or entry into heaven. He suggests that when life lacks a higher purpose or 'God,' small worldly things begin to seem disproportionately important, leading to despair and suicidal thoughts when they are not achieved. He further explains that one's life and breath do not belong to the individual but to the source that provided them. Therefore, one has no right to throw life away over unfulfilled personal desires or social status. He highlights that many seek government jobs for security, perks, or social prestige like dowry, rather than for the work itself. He advises the questioner to stop carrying the wounds of the past and instead take the lessons learned to move forward with greater light and understanding. He concludes by stating that even those who 'succeed' in such worldly pursuits have not necessarily gained anything of true value.
