Acharya Prashant addresses the dilemma of choosing between one's passion and logic. He advises that before anything else, one must first consider the reality of what they are passionate about. He suggests that the first step should be to inquire into the passion itself, especially because one is naturally biased towards it. The speaker encourages asking questions like, "What makes you passionate about something? From where did you pick up this passion? Were you always passionate about it?" He illustrates this by questioning if someone passionate about cricket in India would feel the same if born in Brazil or Russia, highlighting how one's environment can captivate and possess them. He explains that most passions are ephemeral, shallow, influenced, and ultimately hurtful and wasteful. People often get disillusioned with one passion only to fall for another external influence, which they then mistakenly call their own. This cycle is described as being controlled by a remote from the outside, dancing to an external tune while believing the song and dance are one's own. Most feelings and thoughts are not purely internal but are deeply influenced by external factors and conditioning. Acharya Prashant concludes that while passion is a wonderful thing that should determine one's destination, with logic serving as the means to reach it, one must be extremely cautious. He warns that what is often called passion is a "false passion," and conditioned passion is deeply dangerous. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly check the source of one's passion before committing to it. This requires understanding one's own mind and its vulnerabilities to external influences that can lead to enslavement.
