Acharya Prashant addresses the common question of 'what should I do' by shifting the focus to 'who am I being while I act.' He explains that the human ego is constantly identifying with various personas, and every action stems from that identity. He suggests that instead of asking for specific actions, one should reflect on whether their current state of being aligns with their ideals. Using the examples of Shri Rama and Ravana, he points out the hypocrisy of claiming to be a devotee while acting out of greed, cowardice, or deceit. If one's actions resemble those of Ravana, then claiming to be a devotee of Shri Rama is mere pretense. He advises that for those beginning their spiritual journey, it is helpful to choose an 'Ishta' or an ideal based on their specific life situation. For instance, someone facing oppression might find an ideal in Guru Gobind Singh, while someone seeking peace amidst worldly wealth might look to Buddha. The key is to maintain integrity and loyalty to that chosen ideal. He emphasizes that since most people are not yet spiritually awakened and naturally tend to imitate others, they should consciously choose to imitate the noble qualities of great figures rather than falling into base, worldly patterns. Imitating the good is a necessary step toward eventually reaching a state of original, soulful existence where no imitation is required.
