Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of a student suffering from mental depression due to four years of UPSC preparation. He explains that the obsession with government jobs is fueled by a manufactured environment of glamour, power, and security. This environment is created by coaching centers, movies, and a colonial mindset that overvalues bureaucracy. He points out that many graduates, including engineers, turn to these exams because the education system fails to make them employable for the private sector, leading them to seek refuge in the prestige of being a UPSC aspirant rather than admitting they are unemployed. He criticizes the coaching industry for using statistical manipulation to sell dreams. While thousands invest time and money, only a handful succeed, making the aggregate outcome a national drain of youth energy and talent. He argues that the government allows numerous attempts to keep the youth occupied and prevent unrest over unemployment. This rattle of preparation wastes the most productive years of a person's life. He suggests that if these individuals applied their energy toward skill development or entrepreneurship, the success rate and national benefit would be significantly higher. Acharya Prashant clarifies common misconceptions, such as the belief that one can serve their home district as an officer, noting that service rules often prevent such postings. He emphasizes that the obsession is a result of mental colonization and external influence. He advises the questioner to help his sister understand how her mind has been conditioned by this craze. He concludes by stating that true welfare comes from self-knowledge and logical reasoning rather than blindly following commands or chasing glamorized titles that lead to mental suffering.
