Acharya Prashant challenges the conventional notion that hard work is the key to success, labeling it a false and foolish concept. He asserts that success is not achieved through forced labor but through enjoyment. He proposes a new formula: enjoyment is the key to success. According to him, one can never truly succeed in something they do not enjoy, whereas success naturally follows when one finds deep joy in their work. He explains that when there is enjoyment, labor happens effortlessly, and it no longer feels like hard work but like play. He uses the analogy of a donkey to illustrate that mere hard work without joy or intelligence does not lead to meaningful success. He emphasizes that life is meant to be a celebration and a joy, not a burden or a curse. This state of joyful engagement is what he calls meditation—being fully present in whatever one is doing. Whether playing or studying, if one is completely immersed and in love with the activity, the sense of struggle disappears. He explains that a person who loves their studies or a poet who loves their craft does not feel the strain of their efforts because their work is an expression of inner bliss. He concludes by advising that life should be lived in love and presence, without complaints or expectations, maintaining a close and harmonious contact with existence rather than being distant or resentful.
