Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker's anxiety regarding time management and the desire to contribute meaningfully to global issues like climate change while being occupied with research. He explains that one must first prioritize what is truly essential by allocating a specific portion of the day or week to it, and then organize the remaining time for other duties. He emphasizes that one should focus on their primary work with full integrity; if the primary work is chosen correctly, it naturally leads to the welfare of others. He advises against seeking constant validation or over-explaining oneself to others, suggesting that when one works with total heart, there is no time left to worry about external opinions. In a discussion regarding business ethics and change, Acharya Prashant highlights that change is an inevitable law of nature and should not be feared, regardless of age. Addressing a participant involved in supplying chemicals to the leather industry, he points out that while the work may be legal and socially acceptable, one must listen to their own consciousness regarding the impact of their actions on living beings. He clarifies that it is not a matter of sin or legal punishment, but of human sensitivity and awareness. He encourages the participants to remain internally strong despite external challenges or losses, noting that true strength comes from within and is supported by engaging with wisdom and right company.
