Acharya Prashant addresses the exhaustion and lack of clarity that arises from a thought process rooted in worldly experiences and the ego. He explains that the ego is constructed from decades of experiences, beliefs, and conclusions that validate one's current state. While individuals often want to get rid of specific problems or suffering, they simultaneously cling to the parts of their lives they admire or find pleasurable. He uses the analogy of a coal-fired steam engine to illustrate that one cannot enjoy the power of the coal while detesting the pollution it causes; the two are inseparable. To truly change one's inner state, one must be willing to de-board the entire 'train' of their current existence rather than being selective about what to change.
