Acharya Prashant explains that when faced with a difficult task, one common approach is to postpone it to an imaginary future date due to a perceived lack of resources or understanding. In contrast, the right approach is to recognize the urgency of the situation and act immediately, without being concerned about the fruits of the action. He emphasizes that the timing of results is not in one's hands, and it is not wise to keep thinking about them. The essential difference between a spiritual person and others is faith. A spiritual person does what is right because they understand it is right, regardless of the consequences, whereas a faithless person calculates and predicts results, often avoiding right action out of fear of unbearable repercussions. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that the definition of a right consequence is simply that it follows a right action. Even if a consequence is painful, it is right if the action was right; conversely, a pleasurable consequence of a wrong action is ultimately bitter. To distinguish between right and wrong, he suggests observing whether an action reinforces one's sense of limitation and smallness. Anything that makes an individual feel like an isolated island or confined within the ego is not right. He concludes that through attention, one can sense the discomfort of acting from the wrong point, and through faith, one must then choose not to proceed with that wrong action. Attention and faith are the two pillars of a complete life.
