Acharya Prashant explains that the common struggle with concentration and overthinking is not a mental deficiency but a crisis of values. He uses the analogy of a thirsty child being offered toys or stationery to illustrate that if the fundamental need of the inner self is ignored, the mind will never cooperate with the tasks at hand. When a person attempts to focus on something they do not truly value, such as studying merely for a job placement or money, the mind naturally drifts toward what it actually values, such as entertainment. He asserts that concentration is never a problem when one is engaged with something they truly love or value, noting that people have laser-like focus when watching movies or looking at money.
