Acharya Prashant responds to a question about how to find peace by asking a counter-question: "Where did you get restlessness from?" He explains that restlessness is not our inherent nature but something that has been acquired and collected. One is not born with the worries that cause restlessness, such as the concern for a job; these are gathered over time. He advises remembering that this restlessness is not the self, but a collected thing. Whatever is collected is of lesser importance than the self. Using an analogy, he says if a house is on fire, one would save oneself before one's possessions, because any possession is less important than the self. The "I" comes first, and only then does "mine" come into existence. If there is no "I," the question of "mine" does not arise. Therefore, anything that harms the very sense of being is of no benefit. The speaker clarifies that it is not about making a wrong choice in what one collects. He reveals a secret: from the world, only restlessness can be collected. It is not a mistake that one has collected restlessness instead of peace; whatever one collects will cause restlessness because one cannot collect without being restless. He contrasts this with nature, asking if anything in the cosmos—the sea, mountains, animals, the sun—seems incomplete or flawed. The sea is not trying to sweeten its water; it is as it is, and it waves in that state. The creator does not make defective pieces. Acharya Prashant states that man is the only "kafir" (infidel), defining a kafir as one who thinks the creator made defective pieces, with the biggest defective piece being oneself. This is why man is always engaged in the effort of progress, trying to become something else, because he believes he has some flaw. The foolishness of this idea has a foolish consequence: in the effort to become more, one loses even what one was. This thought of having to gain something is the root of all restlessness. He concludes that man is restless because he is not grateful for what he has already received. All restlessness stems from a lack of gratitude and thankfulness.
