Acharya Prashant explains that a goal is not something determined by one's inherent nature, as the true nature of the self is beyond any specific aim or target. He describes goals as a form of medicine required only by those who are unwell; if one is living in their true nature, no goal is necessary. However, since most people are not in a state of spiritual health, they must identify their specific 'illness' or suffering to determine their goal. He emphasizes that a goal must be the direct resolution of one's current problems, whether they are related to a wrong job, family issues, or personal conduct. One cannot seek spiritual solutions like reading scriptures or attending retreats while ignoring the practical source of their distress. Addressing a question about working in a corrupt environment, Acharya Prashant asserts that one cannot blame the 'atmosphere' for their actions. He uses the example of Vibhishana living in Lanka to show that one can remain untouched by their surroundings if they have inner strength. He challenges the notion that corruption is an unavoidable part of work, stating that while knowledge is general, its application must be specific to one's situation. He encourages the questioner to either remain unaffected by the corrupt environment or eventually gain the strength to change it. Ultimately, he advises that if a particular action or environment causes internal suffering, one must have the integrity to stop participating in it.
