Acharya Prashant uses the analogy of a Zen koan to explain that one should seek the non-material to fulfill material needs. He emphasizes that if an individual focuses on significant and essential work, their minor daily requirements, such as food and shelter, will be naturally addressed. He compares this to a high-ranking official whose domestic needs are met by others because his primary work is of great importance. Conversely, those who lack faith become entangled in trivial chores, neglecting the greater purpose of life and ultimately failing in both the significant and the mundane.
