Acharya Prashant addresses the challenges faced by today's youth by emphasizing the fundamental importance of one's inner state. He states, "You have to live with yourself." Regardless of external possessions like a great bike, a great wife, or a great job, one's actual experience of life happens internally. He illustrates this by pointing out that one can feel miserable even in the most lavish of palaces if they are inwardly impoverished. The core of life is lived within, and if there is a hollowness, a void, or poverty inside, no amount of external riches can compensate for it. This is not mere rhetoric but a fact of life. The most crucial relationship one has is with oneself. When two people are together, there are actually four entities present, as each person is also with themselves. Therefore, how you are with yourself is the relationship that matters most. This inner life must be the priority. To cultivate this, one must give time to oneself. Anything important deserves time, and one must ask how much time they truly give to themselves. This involves being with oneself, observing one's inner workings, and understanding what the wise have said about life. It requires seeing how the world operates, how you operate, and how you relate to the world. With courage, one must then chart their own course and figure out their own path. Acharya Prashant explains that seeking external help, like from motivational books or influencers, is useful only if it ignites one's own inner engine and reduces the need for further external support, much like kick-starting a scooter. The goal is to operate from one's own inner engine and live as a sovereign entity. This requires the right intent, which he poetically calls a "love for freedom." This love for freedom is the driving force behind true discipline. Discipline, in its real sense, is not about obedience to external commands but about challenging one's own conditioned patterns and bondages. It is about realizing who you are, what truly calls to you, and conquering the inner obstacles. Without a spiritual center, one can only be obedient or disobedient, but never truly disciplined. He concludes that real love is a spiritual matter, and without spiritual education, one cannot know love; one can at best be lustful. The ego, a perpetually hungry beast, sees everything, including other people, as something to be consumed. True love is not about two people relating to each other, but about the spiritual center from which one comes.
