Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding how to respond when unworthy individuals, like Duryodhana, seek help or favors. He points out that the examples of Shalya or Balarama are not worth following in this context, especially when the example of Shri Krishna is available. Shri Krishna's approach was to present his resources to both the worthy and the unworthy but to give the first right of choice to the worthy person, Arjuna. When both Duryodhana and Arjuna approached Shri Krishna for help before the Mahabharata war, Shri Krishna ensured that Arjuna, the deserving one, chose first. Arjuna chose Shri Krishna himself, while the remaining resource, the Narayani army, was given to the unworthy Duryodhana. Acharya Prashant explains that in life, one always has two choices for giving: the worthy (Arjuna) or the unworthy (Duryodhana). He suggests that if one's life is filled only with unworthy people asking for help, it indicates a failure to recognize and prioritize the worthy. The speaker emphasizes that one must first give to those who are deserving and capable. A worthy person will only take what is necessary and right. By fulfilling the needs of the worthy first, one ensures that their best resources—including time, which is a vital asset—are utilized correctly. If one does not prioritize the worthy, they will be forced to give their resources to the unworthy. He concludes by advising that the highest and best things one possesses should be given to the highest and most deserving people in one's life. By dedicating time and resources to those who are capable and deserving, one naturally leaves no room for the unworthy. This strategy protects one's assets and ensures they are not wasted on those who do not deserve them. The key is to identify the 'Arjuna' in one's life and give them precedence over any 'Duryodhana'.
