Acharya Prashant addresses the concern regarding the brevity of human life, noting that if one truly desires to act, the total duration of life—whether sixty years or two thousand—is irrelevant because the only time to act is in the present moment. He explains that planning for the future often stems from a mind that is fearful, cunning, and devoid of joy. While basic logistical planning for immediate needs is acceptable, long-term planning for years ahead is described as a form of stupidity that prevents one from living authentically and lovingly in the present.
