Acharya Prashant explains that the best use of youth is the same as the best use of any other stage of life: self-revelation, peace, clarity, and realization. However, youth is a particularly facile time for this pursuit because the brain is developed enough for introspection while the body remains strong and the mind is not yet burdened by fossilized habits or heavy social responsibilities. He critiques the modern commercial narrative that portrays youth solely as a time for indulgence and consumption, noting that this script leads inevitably to a middle-age crisis and a regretful old age. He urges young people to accelerate their spiritual journey while their 'vehicle' is strong and the road is clear, rather than waiting for the physical and mental decline of later years.
