Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the youth being influenced by the lavish lifestyles displayed on social media. He begins by stating that no one gives you money and luxury for free; there is always a price to pay, which is usually one's freedom. He explains that humans are not born merely to consume. The peace and satisfaction one seeks cannot be obtained through consumption but comes from doing the right work and living the right life. Indulgence is not a substitute for a meaningful life; it cannot compensate for the lack of it. The speaker clarifies that resources and even luxuries are not inherently bad. The principle should be to acquire only what is necessary to carry out your meaningful work. He advises asking oneself, "How much should I give myself?" The decision should be based on the standard of one's work. If the work is of a high standard, then the resources needed for it should also be of a high standard. For example, if traveling by business class helps one work better during the flight, it is justified. However, if it is merely for indulgence, especially on someone else's money, it is wrong. He criticizes the common approach of first desiring luxury and then finding a job to afford it, calling it a backward way of thinking. Acharya Prashant then discusses his idea of a hero, using Swami Vivekananda as a prime example. He says that while there may have been sages like Jiddu Krishnamurti whose teachings were deeper, Vivekananda is dear to him for a specific reason: his struggles are transparent. We have a complete account of his struggles; we have seen him fight, suffocate, and die bit by bit. This is what he wants in his hero. He wants to see their struggle, not just their success or the grand programs they run. He contrasts this with stories that only show the final success, like a grand palace, without revealing how the money was earned. He advises against being impressed by glitter and glamour and instead to inquire about the process and the struggle. He further elaborates that one's hero should not be someone who is successful but someone who is struggling. He is not interested in those with divine talents who are never hurt; his hero is an ordinary person with a hundred weaknesses who, despite them, keeps fighting for a higher purpose or a deep love. He advises against the fascination with the supernatural and the divine. Your hero should be an ordinary human being, just like you, who gets hurt, falls, but stands up again because it is necessary for a greater purpose. The decision to spend on oneself should be determined by the standard of one's work. If the work demands it, then one should provide the necessary facilities for it. Before indulging in luxury, one should ask, "Is my work worthy of it?"
