Acharya Prashant addresses the common inquiry regarding the ultimate goal of life, challenging the notion that one can determine a final destination while bypassing the immediate journey. He explains that individuals often mistakenly assume they will remain the same person throughout their lives, but in reality, every step of life's journey changes a person. Therefore, a goal set today is only valid for the person one is today; it will not be relevant to the person one becomes in the future. He uses the analogy of a newborn baby needing milk rather than the holy water given at the time of death to illustrate that spiritual or life goals must be appropriate to one's current stage of maturity. He emphasizes that the only meaningful goal is the immediate one, suggesting that one's 'final' goal is actually whatever needs to be done right now. By focusing on the present task with complete justice and attention—such as listening intently while in a session or walking mindfully afterward—one naturally evolves. Planning for a distant future is described as a form of self-deception because the person who will reach that future will have different needs and a different level of maturity. Acharya Prashant advises taking life one step at a time, focusing on what is useful and valid for the present self, rather than trying to adopt goals that belong to a more mature or different version of oneself.
