A questioner shares that after listening to Acharya Prashant for ten months, he has experienced significant physical and psychological changes. Previously, he suffered from a weak body and sinus issues, which made him fearful and prevented him from participating in activities for five years. By following the speaker's advice, he found relief, started taking on any work that came his way without his sinus condition being the central point of his decisions, and even earned a green belt in martial arts. He also notes an increase in concentration and has concluded that one should live life according to principles (sutras) rather than just the intellect. He expresses his gratitude and his desire to join the foundation to learn and contribute, asking for guidance. Acharya Prashant responds by explaining that life within the foundation is vastly different and operates from a completely different center, something that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. He states that the things the foundation values are unimaginable to most, and what most people value, the foundation values less. Life inside is neither like the questioner's current life nor like his imagination of it. He clarifies that the foundation can help precisely because it is different from one's thoughts and life, using the analogy of a person in water needing help from someone on the shore, not another person in the water. He advises against being overly eager or curious about the inner workings, as one might not be able to live that way or understand what goes on, leading to a shock when reality clashes with one's ideals. He emphasizes that this is not about a momentary burst of enthusiasm. A true life transformation requires a long journey, like a marathon, not a sprint. The winner is not the one who runs fast, but the one who doesn't stop. He explains that the energy arising from thought is sudden and momentary, while the energy from understanding has continuity and constancy. This is not about a dramatic, 'filmy' change but requires a 'cold energy' and an 'eternal enthusiasm.' He advises the questioner to start small, like a mountain river beginning its long journey to the sea. He suggests starting with a small contribution, such as half an hour or an hour of online work for the foundation, and to first talk and then begin the journey.
