Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the possibility of working without expecting results, as advised in a verse from the Shrimad Bhagvad Gita. The questioner notes that all their actions, from working for money to reading scriptures for freedom, are done for some gain. Acharya Prashant begins by stating that for the wisdom of Shri Krishna to bring about change, one must first have an Arjun-like self-doubt and faith in someone beyond oneself, like Krishna. The speaker clarifies that the issue is not that one works for a result, but the nature of the result and the nature of the doer. He questions whether the money earned truly provides what one wants, or if the pleasure, peace, and security sought from interactions are actually obtained. He points out that if one is content with the cycle of working and getting remunerated, then no wisdom is needed. Spirituality is only for the dissatisfied. The core problem is that the fulfillment of expectations does not lead to the fulfillment of the self. The expectation of getting money from work might be fulfilled, but the deeper expectation that money will provide something more is not. Acharya Prashant explains that the teaching of Nishkam Karma, or selfless action, begins when one sees the futility of self-centric endeavors. The one setting the goals, the ego, is itself a flawed and incomplete entity. Therefore, the goals it sets for itself will not be of ultimate use. The discovery one must make for oneself is that the ego, the mind, is a defective machine. When one sees that the fulfillment of expectations does not bring completeness, then one understands that expectation itself is junk. The solution is to shift the center of action. The purpose of any action must be a great purpose, greater than what it currently is. Money earned should be spent in a way that dissolves the ego, not for its gratification. Music can be used for a higher purpose, as the saints did, not just for ego-gratification. Interactions with people can have a higher, more conscious purpose. The central thing is that whatever we do, we do it for a purpose; let that purpose be a great one.
