Acharya Prashant begins by stating that Alexander the Great's campaign for world conquest came to a halt in India. Not only that, but Alexander fell ill on his way back and died in his youth. He uses this to illustrate a point about knowledge versus experience. He questions the notion that knowledge is born from experience, using the example of scientists in a lab researching HIV. He asks if they are all AIDS patients themselves. Experience, he asserts, is a false thing, while knowledge is the real thing. Even animals have experiences, but that doesn't mean much. Responding to a questioner who feels stuck in a job he dislikes while also fearing he might miss an opportunity for research, Acharya Prashant explains that if you truly remember that you are trapped, you will not remain trapped to grieve. You remain trapped only when you are stuck but believe you are free. The one who knows they are trapped will not remain so for long. Furthermore, the one who knows they are trapped will not have the time and energy to grieve. If you truly see that you are caught in a bond, you will put all your energy into breaking it. Grief demands a lot of energy, and you won't have the time or energy for it. He advises the questioner to put his all into getting admission for his research on climate change. However, even if he doesn't get selected, he should still work for the cause in other ways, as no one can stop him from doing so. He emphasizes that one can gain knowledge through self-study, as all the necessary books are available. It is not necessary to go through a formal education system to learn. The fear and increased heartbeat come from a desire that can only be fulfilled in one specific place, like getting a good placement from a particular university. This desire for oneself creates pressure. The speaker explains that the one who acts for their own sake will always play with apprehension. The one who is bold and carefree is the one for whom their own security is not a concern. The question, "What will happen to me?" makes one a beggar. He says, "Nothing will happen to you, you are fine." Things can go up and down, situations come and go, but the question "What will happen to me?" is rootless. If you still ask, the answer is, "In the long run, we are all dead." The worst that can happen is death. The day you become comfortable with the worst that can happen to you, nothing bad can happen to you after that. This is the technology of the Atman (Self). This is Atman in action. The benefits of the Atman are that nothing of yours gets spoiled. Your hand might break, but you are not broken because the Atman is indivisible.
