Acharya Prashant asserts that scriptures and realization cannot be left for old age. He cites the example of the Buddha, who himself leads by example. The Buddha did not wait to turn 80, 50, or even 30; he was in the "pink of youth." The speaker urges the listener to "start early, start now." He warns that if one is in their thirties, it is already late, and they must hurry up or they will "miss the flight." The speaker uses an analogy to explain the importance of awakening. Just as one gets up in the morning before beginning the day's activities, one must first awaken in life. He questions the wisdom of sleeping through the day and sleepwalking through life, only to get up when the day is about to end. He states that first, one awakens, and then one does what one does. Before any action, there must be awakening; otherwise, it is an action in sleep, slumber, and unconsciousness. He points out that our logic is often inverted. We say, "Let's first live through life, and when we are done with everything else, then let's retire and find some time for Krishna and Christ." He calls this nonsense. This inverted logic leads to sleepwalking into major life decisions like marriage, jobs, and careers. We choose everything—houses, spouses—while unconscious. The realization that a choice was a mistake comes much later, when it's too late for corrective action. People then beat their chests, but it's better not to be realized at all than to go to the grave with ignorance. The speaker concludes by reiterating that youth is the rising sun, the sunshine, and the time to awaken. He advises to "get up, wash your face, be ready for life, and then step into things." When one gets up first, the world will be beautiful; otherwise, one will just be stumbling through life. The choices are made first, and the realization comes very late, leading to the alibi, "It's too late now, no corrective action possible."
