A young man asks Acharya Prashant how to prioritize the various aspects of his life, which include studies and career, girlfriend and love affairs, spirituality, football, and music. He is unable to decide what is more important and quotes a saying by the saints: "If you pursue one, you will attain all; if you pursue all, you will lose all." He asks for the science of prioritization. Acharya Prashant responds by clarifying that what the questioner calls "aspects of life" are all desires. The desire to study and build a career, the desire for a girlfriend, the desire for spirituality, the desire for football, music, and guitar—these are all desires. All these desires promise that if you fulfill them, you will experience great joy. He explains that desire lives on hope, and hope is about the future, which is hazy. Because it's hazy, one can make grand assumptions about the fulfillment of these desires. He suggests a thought experiment: take each desire and imagine its ultimate fulfillment. For example, imagine getting the best possible career or the most wonderful girlfriend. Then, honestly ask yourself if even that maximum fulfillment would bring complete satisfaction. To illustrate, he suggests looking at the reality of others' lives. He gives the example of a senior in college who was a legendary lover. The questioner should see what has become of that senior's life after a few years—perhaps he has gained weight, lost his hair, and his domestic life is in shambles. The speaker points out that the questioner's life is on the same trajectory because their fundamental nature and desires are the same. He emphasizes that history repeats itself; what has happened to others will happen to you because the basic human instinct is the same. He advises learning from the experiences of others—be it from history, relatives, or seniors—to understand the reality of one's own desires and their likely outcomes. Acharya Prashant contrasts worldly desires with spirituality. While other dreams are about gaining something, the dream of spirituality is about losing or letting go. It's a dream of becoming free from things, not acquiring them. To prioritize, he advises the questioner to honestly assess each desire. Ask, "What is the most this can give me?" If the maximum possible outcome of a particular field is not enough to fill your heart, then why waste your energy and time on it? This method of imagining the ultimate fulfillment of each desire and then assessing its true worth is the way to prioritize.
