Acharya Prashant addresses a question about managing emotions to focus on a career. He begins by reframing the questioner's premise, suggesting that it is not that we have loved ones who disturb us, but rather that we love to be disturbed. He questions whether our relationships with loved ones would mean anything if they did not disturb us, implying that the relationship itself might disappear without this disturbance. He posits that relationships are often founded on the premise of giving each other the right to invade personal space, which is what disturbance is. The speaker then connects emotions directly to the body, stating that we are born with them. He explains that in the biological scheme of things, especially for a woman, emotions are powerful. He uses a series of rhetorical questions to highlight the disconnect between the body and higher pursuits: Does the nose care about a career? Do eyebrows feel offended if you fail an exam? Does the skin care for knowledge, career, or consciousness? He asserts that the body's only concerns are food, sex, and sleep. Consequently, relationships founded on the body will not be aligned with intellectual pursuits like a career. The choice of partners is often based on gender, which is bodily, rather than on intellectual or spiritual depth. Acharya Prashant advises the questioner to be aware of the body's conspiracies against her real purpose in life. He acknowledges that this battle is particularly challenging for women, as both societal structures and physical nature (Prakriti) have designed them to be more body-centric for the purpose of procreation. He urges her not to patronize or energize her emotions. When emotions arise, she should recognize them as the body's, not her own, and fight against them. He concludes by stating that the purpose of a conscious human being is to gain heights of consciousness, wisdom, and freedom. This battle against the body's conditioning is difficult but worth it, and the victory tastes sweeter because of the struggle. The goal is to fight one's own battles and quench one's own thirst.
