Acharya Prashant addresses the common assumption that life must have a specific purpose, noting that humans are constantly driven by a bag of purposes that often lead to confusion. He suggests that instead of trying to determine the right purpose from many imagined ones, the real challenge is to find freedom from this cycle. He explains that human goals never truly end; the fulfillment of one purpose merely makes way for another, creating an infinite loop that never brings total completion. He argues that the more one pursues these goals, the more one falsely believes that fulfillment is just one more effort away, rather than questioning the premise of purposeful living itself. Ultimately, he states that if life has a purpose, it is to attain clarity and see that all our self-imposed purposes are illusions. He concludes that while a confused mind holds a million purposes, a state of clarity leaves one with no purpose at all, making clarity the only true aim.
