Acharya Prashant explains that at the current stage of life, in terms of education and age, there is a lot of garbage that is eager to fill the mind and life. If you leave yourself empty, you might feel disappointed for a few days. There will be boredom, despair, emptiness, and loneliness in life. However, you will not be able to tolerate this despair and emptiness for long. Then, you will go and invite some handsome garbage. That will fill the emptiness and despair of your life with hope. This is a very old story, not of today but of millions of years ago. Everyone's lives are filled this way. It is still better now; the day you pass out from the campus and get into a job, you will feel even more lonely. This is especially true for those who go into a job after leaving campus, particularly their first job. They get troubled. And in India, an Indian girl gets even more troubled. The trouble increases when you find that you are the only one left in despair while everyone else is getting their hopes fulfilled one by one. Then, you too quickly find someone to give you hope. The speaker advises not to leave yourself empty, but to fill your life in the most beautiful and highest ways possible. Learn music, become active in sports, and take up projects in your field that go beyond the minimum compulsory work. Burden every moment with work. Acharya Prashant explains that the one who stops you from engaging in any meaningful work is the 'queen' within you, the ovum. For a man, it is the 'king', the sperm. This single-celled entity manipulates your entire mental atmosphere for its own sake. Its only intention is that the single cell becomes double. This entire system of yours is a servant to that queen. That queen's name is the ovum. And if you are a man, your entire system is a servant to the sperm. It doesn't have a mouth to come and tell you that it wants to be fertilized. So, it finds all these ways. It will fill you with a sadness, a loneliness, an emptiness. Especially in young people, evenings will become desolate and nights will become lonely. You will feel this is some high-level work, some poetic work. You will listen to ghazals and might even start writing some poetry or ghazals. You will feel this is happening on a higher plane. This is not the work of loneliness; it is the work of a very small troublemaker. That troublemaker's name is Prakriti (Nature). Its sole intention is that your body does not engage in any higher work but just becomes a baby-producing machine. Nature has no interest in your PhD. Nature will have no problem if you leave your M.Tech. If you walk out of IIT today, nature will clap and laugh. It will be happy. By nature, he means the body you are carrying and the ovum within it. It wants you to leave IIT. Nature has made a whole system to keep women ignorant. That's why women are so emotional. This emotionality is nothing but a tool to further nature's mission. This loneliness is an expression of that same emotionality. The speaker reiterates his advice to immerse your life in whatever you understand to be the highest purpose. Otherwise, the consequences are immediate and fatal. You will set out on paths from which you cannot return, especially in India, where the scope of return is very less if you make mistakes in your youth.
