Acharya Prashant challenges the conventional notion that hard work is the key to success, labeling it a false and foolish teaching. He asserts that hard work alone does not lead to success, noting that even animals like donkeys work hard without achieving true success. Instead, he proposes a new formula: enjoyment is the key to success. He explains that one can never truly succeed in something they do not enjoy. When a person finds deep joy in their work, the effort happens naturally and spontaneously, feeling more like play than a burden. He emphasizes that when one is fully immersed and in love with what they do—whether it is playing, studying, or writing poetry—the sense of labor disappears, and time passes without fatigue. Acharya Prashant further explains that this state of total involvement is called meditation. He encourages living life with love rather than complaints or expectations. He suggests that one should maintain a close contact with life, being fully present in every moment. When there is love for the task at hand, such as a student loving their books, the necessary work happens on its own without the need for forced exertion. He concludes that one should not strive to 'do' hard work; rather, when one lives life joyfully and lovingly, the required effort manifests naturally as a byproduct of that engagement.
