Acharya Prashant provides a definitive method to evaluate the worth of any person, object, or thought in one's life. He suggests that instead of asking how much pleasure something provides, one must ask what it is displacing. The true value of an association is determined by whether it brings one closer to the Truth or distances one from it. He uses the analogy of a person playing a mobile game on a railway platform; while the game is pleasurable, its danger lies in the fact that it causes the person to miss their train. Similarly, worldly pleasures are 'poisonous' if they consume the time and attention that should have been devoted to spiritual growth or the company of saints like Kabir Saheb.
