Acharya Prashant explains that the only genuine goal is one that aligns with the ultimate purpose of life, which is liberation. He emphasizes that since a person is born into bondage and suffering, the primary objective of existence must be to get rid of this bondage and achieve freedom. Every short-term, medium-term, and long-term goal must be a step toward this final destination of liberation. He uses the analogy of traveling from Delhi to the Ganga to illustrate that one's daily actions must be in the correct direction of the ultimate goal; otherwise, life becomes a series of contradictory movements that lead to more suffering.
