Acharya Prashant responds to a question about identifying one's right work or calling by first pointing out a flaw in the question's premise. He uses a cricket analogy, comparing the situation to a team that is already in a losing position asking how to win. He explains that one cannot accept a life of compromises and then seek a last-minute solution for liberation. The speaker emphasizes that one cannot do all the things one shouldn't—like taking up a meaningless job just for security—and then, when on the verge of defeat, ask for a way out. He states that if one has already decided to be an employee and just earn a salary, then asking for spiritual liberation becomes contradictory, as there is nothing left for a spiritual teacher to save. Acharya Prashant clarifies that truth and liberation are not cheap commodities that can be obtained while keeping one's comfortable life intact. One cannot have it both ways, like having sweets in both hands. Spirituality is not a hobby to be pursued in spare time; it demands a total transformation of one's life. He dismisses the idea of achieving spiritual bliss while the rest of one's life continues unchanged, comparing it to wanting to score high marks in an exam without studying. He acknowledges that the issue of employment is delicate due to the need to earn a livelihood, but if one's priority is just to feed the stomach, then one should continue doing that instead of raising questions about attaining God. Finally, Acharya Prashant defines what a 'calling' truly is. He explains that it is not a romantic notion of a job one gets lost in. First, one must identify their bondages. The work that is undertaken to cut these very bondages is one's true calling. Since everyone is trapped by different things, the calling is unique to each individual. He illustrates this by saying someone's chain might be red, another's black; one's chain could be a sacred thread, another's a ring. The work done to cut one's specific chain is their calling. He concludes that the calling is a means, not an end. Once the chains are broken, the calling itself loses its significance, as neither the work nor the doer remains.
