Acharya Prashant explains that procrastination is not the primary problem but rather a symptom of a confused and muddled mind that is unable to distinguish between the essential and the inessential. He points out that people never delay what they truly want or what brings them joy; instead, they delay suffering or tasks they are forced to do against their nature. Delaying occurs either because a task is known to be unimportant yet mandatory, or because something is important but its value is not recognized. This lack of discretion stems from a lack of attention and an attachment to illusory things.
