Acharya Prashant explains that the fundamental desire is to be able to distinguish between the true and the false, the wise and the unwise, the real and the unreal, and right action from wrong action. However, he posits that whatever comes out of desire will necessarily be a misplaced action. Therefore, the very desire to know the right action is itself a flawed starting point, as any action coming from desire is a wrong action. If one desires to know the right action, they can never truly know it because the desire itself creates a mental image of what right action should be, an image that comes from the past. By definition, right action is that which is fresh, comes from nowhere, and does not need the assistance of the past. The speaker elaborates that when an individual decides to be the judge of what is right, the entire process is corrupted from the beginning. All efforts to distinguish between right and wrong will be unsuccessful or yield harmful results. Even if a conclusion appears successful, it is merely a coincidence that sustains the false hope that one's efforts can lead to right decisions. The truly good and right action comes from an unknown place, not because one has called for it, drafted it, or had anything to do with it. It happens on its own when one does not assert themselves as the authority, the judge, the decision-maker, or the actor. This leads to the topic of compassion. The speaker states that when you are alright, the very sound of your footsteps is compassion. True compassion is not a cultivated attempt to be selfless or to change others, which is a form of violence and an act of playing God. Instead, it is the natural outcome of being surrendered and moving as one with existence. When one is in this state, right things happen through them without any conscious effort or intention to be an agent of change. Their very presence has a healing effect on their surroundings.
