Acharya Prashant states that those who have tried to chase success in this world know very well that all they have received is fear. He urges the audience not to punish their children by pushing them to make the same foolish mistakes they made throughout their lives. He asks people to look at their own faces, which read fear, and to have the courage to look at it clearly without hiding. He advises against teaching children to become successful in the world, because if they do become successful, they will become successful in fear. The speaker clarifies that he is not there to assert that one has a metaphysical identity or a home away from the world. However, he insists that what is obvious and so clearly seen must be acknowledged. He explains that the quality of our relationship with the world just makes us more and more of a beggar. When our eyes look out, they are only looking for prospective clients. When our ears hear, they are just craving to hear the sound of coins. All that our hands want to touch is something material that can be consumed, and all the mind wants to think of is something that would give it security. Acharya Prashant asks if we have ever seen, heard, touched, or thought about anything else, noting that he is referring to the senses of a beggar. He suggests an exercise: when you go out, try to look at your eyes, not through them. See how your eyes are looking, what they want, and what attracts your gaze. He asks the audience to honestly question if their eyes are not searching for alms. He repeats to see what you are looking at, and then see how you are looking at it. Whenever you look at something, you want something from it, which he defines as begging. These eyes open to beg, in desire, because they are not satisfied.
