Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the true purpose of life, particularly for a young person, by first challenging the premise of the question. He states that one cannot ask for a true purpose while being simultaneously and stubbornly invested in all kinds of blind purposes. He suggests that perhaps the true purpose of life is simply to get rid of all the false purposes. From the moment of birth, a person is handed numerous false purposes and has the potential to accumulate even more. An infant, for example, is not purposeless; it has purposes related to the body, such as wanting the right temperature, humidity, and regular feeding. These purposes, he argues, do not fundamentally change as one grows up; they are merely amplified in a social context. The speaker illustrates this by comparing an infant's desire for its territory to an adult's desire for a house, or an infant's paramount need for food to an adult's pursuit of desires at the expense of others. He deconstructs the common notion of success as a form of domination and being better than others, which is inherently violent and competitive. This, he explains, is a biological urge, not a conscious choice. The pursuit of what we call success is just an amplification of our biological core. He contrasts this with the success of figures like Einstein or Buddha, which is of a different nature. Ultimately, Acharya Prashant defines the true purpose of life as getting rid of these nonsensical, biological, and conditioned purposes. It is about becoming truly human by undoing our conditioning, learning to love, and breaking free from the prison of our programming. He uses the analogy of a prisoner in a cell asking about the purpose of life within the prison, stating that the only rightful purpose is to break out. He warns that happiness is the ultimate trap, as we are often lured by promises of happiness and gratification, which are features of animalistic existence. A true human, he concludes, should be able to say no to instant gratification and the false purposes that society and biology impose.
