Acharya Prashant addresses a twenty-five-year-old questioner who feels that the significance of his life has not yet been actualized despite having defined a new goal. He explains that our goals are determined by our internal structure and the way we have lived our lives; therefore, a goal cannot be far ahead of who we currently are. Instead of asking if a goal will lead to self-actualization or liberation, one must first investigate what is worth attaining. To know what is worth attaining, one must first understand who they are. Just as one needs to know the size and preferences of a person before buying them clothes, one must understand their own nature before setting a meaningful goal. He emphasizes that 'knowing oneself' does not mean finding a divine light within, but rather observing one's mind, tendencies, fears, and desires in daily life. Acharya Prashant further explains that the creator of the goal is more important than the goal itself. He uses the analogy of a gym trainer who checks a person's Body Mass Index (BMI) before prescribing exercises; similarly, one must diagnose their own mental state. He encourages observing how one relates to others, how one handles free time, and what thoughts or desires dominate the mind. He clarifies that knowing oneself means understanding the current state of the mind and its thirst. Many people seek things like 'cake' when they are actually 'thirsty' because they do not understand their true needs. He concludes by noting that external changes, like visiting a peaceful place, only provide a temporary glimpse of what is possible. True success lies in internal change and leaving behind the unnecessary burdens of the mind that do not serve a purpose.
