Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who feels like a failure because she is unable to make tangible progress in her life despite her efforts to explore new things. He explains that her feelings of unworthiness stem from comparing herself to worldly standards and the biological agendas of others. He emphasizes that she is challenging millions of years of evolution and centuries of social conditioning, which is a monumental task. In such a significant struggle, even a stalemate or the refusal to quit should be considered a victory. He advises her to adopt the principle of Nishkam Karma, which involves maintaining dignity in the right struggle while remaining disdainful of results, as worldly outcomes will often appear negative.
