Acharya Prashant addresses the common question, "What should I do?" which arises in various contexts, such as buying a new car, building a new house, deciding on a child's education, or pursuing spirituality. He advises that whenever this question comes to mind, one must understand what needs to be done. The solution is not to do something new, but to pay close attention to what one is already doing. To illustrate this, he uses the analogy of a blindfolded person who is stumbling and walking erratically. If this person asks what to do and is told to go left instead of right, they will still stumble. The direction of their action changes, but the quality of the action—stumbling—remains the same. The new action is not fundamentally different from the old one because the doer has not changed. The doer is still blindfolded. Therefore, when one faces a problem and asks what to do, the answer is not to do something new, because in the current state, one cannot perform a truly new action. It will only appear new but will be a repetition of the old pattern. The correct approach is to stop and ask, "What am I doing right now?" The answer is, "I am stumbling." One must then focus on why they are stumbling. By repeatedly paying attention to the act of stumbling, one's hand will instinctively move to remove the blindfold. Only after the blindfold is removed can a genuinely new action be performed, and the stumbling will cease. One should not fall for the temptation of finding a new solution or action. Instead, one must pause and recognize that the problem exists because of what one is currently doing. The focus should not be on "what to do" but on observing why the current actions are flawed. The problem lies with the doer. Until the doer changes, the fundamental quality of their actions will not improve. One must go to the root of the problem, which is oneself. Running away is futile, as you take the problem—yourself—with you wherever you go.
