Acharya Prashant addresses the common question, "What should I do?" which arises in various contexts, such as buying a new car, building a new house, or deciding on a child's education. He advises that whenever this question arises, the solution is not to do something new, but to pay close attention to what one is already doing. He explains this with an analogy: a person with a blindfold stumbles and walks crookedly. If this person, who was stumbling while going right, asks what to do and is told to go left, they will still stumble. The new action is not much different from the old one because the doer has not changed. When you face a problem and ask, "What should I do now?" you should not do anything new, because you are currently incapable of doing anything truly new. It may seem new, but it will not be. Instead, you must stop. Using the analogy, you must ask, "What am I doing right now?" The answer is, "I am stumbling." Then you must investigate why you are stumbling. By repeatedly paying attention to the stumbling, your hand will automatically go up and remove the blindfold. The action that follows will be genuinely new. Only then can a new action be performed, and the stumbling will cease. If you keep asking "What should I do now?" while the blindfold is on, you will only continue to stumble, whether you go forward, backward, left, right, up, or down. Therefore, when the question "What should I do?" arises, do not fall into the temptation of finding a new solution or method. Pause and recognize that you are already doing many things. The problem exists precisely because you are doing something. If there were no problem, you would not be asking what to do. So, do not ask what to do; instead, look at what you are doing and why it is flawed. You are the one making the mistake. Until you change, whatever you do, its fundamental quality will not improve. Go to the root of the problem. Do not run away from the problem. You yourself are the problem. Wherever you run, you will take the problem with you. So, what is the use of running? Look at what you are doing and why you are stumbling.
