Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of anxiety by stating that its antidote is work. He explains that if one is anxious about something, it signifies that the matter is important yet incomplete. Instead of merely brooding, one should engage in action to bring the matter to completion. He says, "Action is the antidote to despair," and emphasizes that life becomes intolerable if one is not a worker. This principle, he notes, is the central message of the Bhagavad Gita, as exemplified by Shri Krishna's advice to Arjun to stop weeping and do what needs to be done. The speaker elaborates that anxiety is a state of circular thinking, where one gets trapped in an iterative loop of "what-ifs." He advises that when thought becomes repetitive, one must break the cycle by acting. Action provides new input beyond the limited circle of existing thoughts, giving them freshness. He cautions against waiting for thought to provide complete assurance before acting, as thought by itself is self-serving and never reaches a final conclusion. By understanding the limits of thought, one's anxiety also becomes limited. When faced with multiple choices, such as different career paths, Acharya Prashant suggests that thought alone is insufficient and recommends a phase of experimentation. One should "try on" the different options, much like trying on clothes in a fitting room. This means getting close to the choices, feeling them, and living with them for a while without making an irreversible commitment. He warns that while oscillating between options is uncomfortable, it is far better than committing to an unworthy option, as irreversible commitments can be life-threatening. The ultimate advice is to first and foremost commit to freedom and truth. With this primary commitment, all other choices will fall into place. He encourages young people to go out boldly into the world, experiment with various options, and have fun, all while remembering to remain free. There is no obligation to settle down quickly. The speaker concludes by stating that the purpose of Vedant is to lead one to the right meaning of freedom.
