Acharya Prashant addresses the common misconception that life must be lived with a fixed aim or target to be useful. He explains that when we declare one specific future goal as 'useful', we inadvertently label our entire present existence as 'useless'. This mindset keeps fulfillment perpetually out of reach because the 'useful' day never truly arrives. He challenges the audience's deep conditioning that movement and action can only happen for the sake of a target, asserting instead that actions can be performed for their own sake. For instance, solving a problem should be done because the process itself is beautiful and joyful, not merely to achieve a result. He argues that being preoccupied with future rewards prevents one from being fully immersed and present in the current task.
