Acharya Prashant addresses the question of when to stop by clarifying that one can never physically stop. As long as a person is alive, the flow of action will continue, and the body and mind will remain functional until the last moment. Therefore, stopping can only occur in an inner sense. He explains that the inner self is in a state of continuous movement, seeking to attain a certain contentment. To find this contentment, one must go to the root of their inner discontentment. This requires the courage to not only face but to actively penetrate one's discontentment. What is found after this penetration is true contentment. This contentment will not align with preconceived definitions or past experiences, but it is the real thing, provided one has honestly gone through the process. It is not the contentment of one's dreams or anything experienced in life so far; it is something different. This process leads to an inward cessation of movement, an end to the constant wandering from door to door across the "landscape of misery." Once this inner wandering stops, journeying through the ordinary flow of life becomes joy. A person can then journey while having inwardly stopped. They can engage with things, commit, fight, win, and lose, but remain inwardly unperturbed because they have arrived at their inner center. After this inner arrival, things in the world remain just things. They retain their practical meaning, but no single thing represents the Truth or the Self anymore. For instance, losing a laptop is just the loss of a laptop, not the loss of one's heart. One might feel sad, but only as sad as the loss of a thing deserves. Similarly, one feels happy upon winning something, but only as happy as the achievement of a thing deserves. Nothing is added to or reduced from one's inner being by external events. The speaker concludes by advising to keep doing the right things. The question is not about when to stop in general, but about stopping the things one must not do and continuing with the things one must do. This requires observing life, and then finding, facing, and dropping the unnecessary things within.
