Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why a rational view of life seems dry and random compared to the romanticized, "juicy" versions found in beliefs and media. He begins by acknowledging the questioner's premise that beliefs, dreams, and delusions are juicy while reality is dry, but then challenges whether reality is actually dry. He explains that while our existence is indeed a random fact, this does not necessitate it being dry or pointless. The true purpose of life, he suggests, is to rid oneself of delusions. Fantasies, like those about an afterlife, are just stories we tell ourselves. Life has a way of bringing us back to reality, showing us that these stories are nonsensical, much like imagining a flower bed and then walking into a wall. The speaker argues that what one finds "juicy" depends on their level of consciousness. To an unconscious mind, the romanticized stories of love and life feel amazing. However, to a conscious person, these same stories feel nauseating and cringeworthy, as seen when looking back at older films with a more evolved perspective. This preference for delusion is fueled by the propaganda of "juice sellers," such as filmmakers, who portray knowledge and intellect as dry and boring. They depict scientists and teachers as eccentric fools because a knowledgeable audience would see through their commercially successful but nonsensical narratives. This creates a false dichotomy where ignorance is equated with being cool or a "stud," while knowledge makes one a "fool." Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that the real juice of life is in Truth itself, a concept from the Upanishads: "Raso vai sah" (Truth is the essence/juice). He asserts that intelligence is great fun, and true, legitimate fun is that which is earned, not the cheap fun of acting stupid. He explains that awakening begins with suffering; as consciousness rises, so does suffering, until it reaches an inflection point. This point is a choice, where one stops resisting suffering and accepts their chosen path. When one fully acknowledges their life, the suffering drops. All suffering is essentially about complaining; when the complaining stops, the suffering ends. Therefore, one should choose their life consciously and be settled with it, paying the price without complaint.
