Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the common anxiety of whether one is doing justice to themselves or their parents. He uses a story of a fox whose perceived hunger changes based on the length of its shadow to illustrate how human desires and self-assessment are often dictated by external circumstances rather than internal truth. He explains that people often judge their success based on comparisons, such as salary packages or peer achievements, which leads to superficial suffering. According to him, the only true way to do justice to oneself is through total immersion and complete involvement in the present moment. He emphasizes that living life fully and being deeply into the task at hand is the only valid measure of justice, rather than living according to the expectations of others or superficial comparisons.
