Acharya Prashant addresses the common concern of living in a competitive era by suggesting that competition itself is not the problem, but rather the choice of whom one competes with. He uses the analogy of a car driver trying to race a train or an airplane to illustrate the futility of competing with those whose paths and destinations are entirely different from one's own. He explains that the mind, being inherently incomplete and identified with nature rather than the Soul, will naturally seek competition. Therefore, instead of trying to suppress this tendency, one should redirect it toward worthy figures like Shri Krishna, Buddha, or Kabir Saheb. By competing with their level of consciousness, wisdom, and surrender, one ensures that these divine qualities constantly occupy the mind.
