In response to a question about whether he has any self-interest in his work, Acharya Prashant affirms that there is indeed complete self-interest involved. He states that he would not claim there is nothing in it for him. This work, which includes publishing books and videos, provides a purpose for his life and keeps him constantly busy, often more than he can manage. There is always something to do, whether it's reviewing a book for publication or preparing for a recording session. This constant activity keeps his days and his life full. He explains that if the audience and their questions did not exist, he would have nothing to do, as he has no personal matters to attend to, those having been settled long ago. Therefore, his self-interest lies in this engagement, which he describes as a "wonderful busyness" that occupies his thoughts even while he sleeps. Time passes without him realizing it, and he sees this as the most beautiful and best possible use of his time. He emphasizes that this is made possible only by the presence of the questioners. Without them, he would have no one to whom he could give or tell what he wants to share. In this regard, he expresses his gratitude, stating that while he hopes the audience is receiving something from him, he feels he might be receiving even more from them. He considers himself the receiver and them the givers. The ultimate self-interest, he clarifies, is receiving a meaningful life, which he calls the greatest gift one can get. By their presence, the audience has given him this meaningful life. This is his self-interest: his mind remains engaged. Since the mind must be engaged in something, it is best to engage it in the highest possible place and the highest possible work.
