Acharya Prashant explains that ambition and motivation are rooted in a sense of greed and a feeling of personal incompleteness. He argues that when individuals feel unworthy or lacking, they seek external achievements like degrees or jobs to fill that void. This mindset shifts one's focus entirely to the future, promising happiness only after a goal is reached, which leaves the person suffering and unhappy in the present. He describes ambition as a false medicine that offers a deferred and useless remedy for current misery. He further clarifies that failure only exists when there is ambition, as ambition places all value on the final result rather than the process of doing. This results in years of effort being judged by a single moment of outcome, which he deems irrational. Instead of working for a result, Acharya Prashant suggests working out of love and immersion. He uses the analogy of love to show that the act itself should be sufficient and joyful, requiring no further validation or result. Finally, he emphasizes that true immersion in the present leads to the best possible outcomes. Since the present is the seed of the future, taking care of the present ensures the future is automatically taken care of. He advises against being swayed by societal pressures to be ambitious or competitive. By living intensely in the present, one finds pure joy, and the results that follow are often more beautiful than anything that could have been planned.
