Acharya Prashant explains that the mind chatters only about little and inconsequential things. The subject of this chatter is always a petty one, and no matter how long one thinks about it, the matter can never be brought to an end, which is why it is inconsequential. The mind loves to engage with itself, to roll in its own stuff, and wants to be a prisoner unto itself. The solution is to recall that life is bigger and that you have more important things to do. The mind has to be busy with something; if you do not give it something important to be busy with, it will start playing with itself. Using analogies, the speaker compares the mind to a monkey that, if not given a toy, will play with its own body, a game that is ultimately painful. He also likens the chattering mind to a car accelerating in neutral. This activity creates a lot of noise and heat, burns fuel, but takes the car nowhere. This is how most people burn their precious life energy; it appears something is happening, but nothing really happens. The car is built to travel, so one must change the gear and give it a destination. Then, the internal chatter will stop. Even at a lower RPM, a car in the right gear will take you places and deliver useful results without being overworked. The speaker states that living in one's mind is the worst and most dangerous way to exist. The only way to get out of your mind is by giving it a purpose, as nothing else will work. This is described as a law of nature. The mind is just energy, and if it is not given a solemn enough purpose, this energy will become destructive. Therefore, one must keep the mind constructively involved with something proper and purposeful. This requires honesty, as giving the mind a purpose means the entire body must work, which lazy people avoid. The final advice is to give the mind a proper purpose and let the entire system, everything in your existence, be focused and channeled towards the right purpose in life.
