Acharya Prashant explains that determining what is right for oneself is not a complex task if one focuses on the immediate present. He suggests a practical formula: instead of searching for an ultimate life purpose or a distant goal, one should simply do what feels right at this very moment. Just as a mathematical equation progresses step-by-step, the current right action will naturally dictate the next step. He emphasizes that if one remains firm in their current integrity and avoids dishonesty, the future will take care of itself. He discourages postponing right action or worrying about future outcomes, asserting that the ultimate purpose of life is found in performing current tasks—whether eating or listening—with total immersion. Regarding compassion and helping others, Acharya Prashant clarifies that true help is not a calculated effort but a spontaneous occurrence. When one is truly moved by love or compassion, action happens naturally without the need for rehearsal or planning. He addresses the concern of maintaining inner peace in challenging environments, advising that one should not re-invest meaning into things already recognized as meaningless. He explains that peace is inherent and does not leave; rather, it is our own divided mind and attachment to false notions that create conflict. He suggests that true harmony in relationships is achieved not by trying to fix the other person, but by being established in one's own truth and center. He further describes that human conflicts arise because individuals remain centered in their separate egos while trying to live together. True unity and love are possible only when individuals move toward a shared 'home' of inner peace and truth. He asserts that as people move toward their own spiritual center, they naturally come closer to others. He concludes by advising that one should focus on being truthful and centered rather than worrying about the consequences of right actions. A right action can never have a bad result, and when an individual is at peace with themselves, all their relationships naturally become harmonious and beautiful.
