Acharya Prashant explains the importance of asking the right questions by using an analogy of a person wanting to commit suicide. This person asks questions like, "Where is the nearest pharmacy?" or "Where can I get the cheapest poison?" but fails to ask the most fundamental question: "Is life worth living or not?" Because this core question is never asked, it is never answered. He points out that information sources like Google or friends will only answer the specific questions posed to them and will not challenge the premise of the question. Most advisors will provide answers within the same dimension as the question asked. It requires a loving and risk-taking person to go beyond the scope of the question and offer an answer that was never sought. When people seek advice, they often limit its scope, wanting a simple "yes" or "no" within their own framework. However, if the framework itself is born of ignorance, any answer received will be flawed and ultimately lead to one's demise. Therefore, it is crucial to learn to ask the right questions, such as, "Why am I going for this? Why am I dropping this? Why am I picking this?" This process may seem taxing initially because people are accustomed to unconscious, impulsive behavior, and consciousness can feel like a burden. The speaker connects this principle to life and career, stating that life is more important than a career. A career is only important because life is. Spirituality is not about having no career but about having the right career—one that aligns with one's deep inner needs. He cites Gautam Buddha as an example of a spiritual person who had a great "career," founding a huge organization (Sangha). He also cautions against relying on "gut feelings," describing them as conditioned responses from past experiences that can be deluding. Instead, one must rely on asking the right questions, as your life is important.
