Acharya Prashant addresses a question from someone who was taught that no work is big or small, yet was pressured by their parents to pursue an MBA instead of their passion for singing, leading to great unhappiness. The speaker begins by pointing out a contradiction in the questioner's own actions. He asks, even if doing an MBA brought you disappointment and sorrow, you still went to an MBA college, an institute of management, to learn it, didn't you? To learn medicine, you would go to a medical college. This simple logic, of going to the rightful expert for a specific subject, is something we understand even for worldly matters. He then poses a rhetorical question: why didn't you do your MBA at home? He humorously suggests that the father could have taught finance, the mother operations management, the grandparents strategy, and the sister marketing. The point is that for something as relatively insignificant as an MBA, one seeks out specialized institutions. However, when it comes to the most important decisions of life, its meaning, and its fundamental principles, people turn to their parents. He questions the parents' qualifications, asking where they became authorized or experts to give guidance on life. The mistake, he asserts, lies with the individual who, at the age of 22 or 24, was old enough to know better than to seek life's guidance from those who are not experts in it. Acharya Prashant strongly refutes the saying that "no work is big or small," asking in which scripture this is written. He states that work is absolutely big and small. He refers to the Gita, where Shri Krishna explains different types of actions: *sakam karma* (action with desire), *nishkam karma* (desireless action), *akarma* (inaction), and *vikarma* (wrong action). He criticizes the tendency to use popular, conventional wisdom and idioms to justify foolish actions. These are mere idioms, not the verses of the Upanishads or the teachings of the saints. He explains that the true experts or scientists of life are the Rishis (sages). One should seek life's guidance only from them, not from parents, uncles, or aunts. He concludes by stating that parents are not gurus; they themselves need a guru. They are not qualified to impart life education.
