Acharya Prashant addresses a young woman who is torn between the loneliness she feels while studying abroad in Los Angeles and the emotional turmoil she experiences when she visits her family in Delhi. He points out that she has presented a false dichotomy, asking him to choose between two undesirable options, as if flipping a coin. He explains that she has already limited her possibilities to these two choices, leaving no room for a third, better alternative. This dilemma, he notes, is a common story for everyone: a choice between loneliness and being alone even in a crowd. When she is in Los Angeles, she feels lonely and runs to her home in India, and at home, she gets entangled in the same old emotional drama. He clarifies that neither option is superior; they are two sides of the same coin, and one will inevitably lead to the other. The speaker elaborates that loneliness becomes a problem only when one does not know what to do with it and tries to fill it with useless things. Instead of a problem, loneliness should be seen as an opportunity. He uses the analogy of an empty room, which is not a problem but a chance to fill it with something beautiful and meaningful. Similarly, loneliness is an opportunity to make the right choices and fill one's life with a great purpose. He cautions against making hasty, life-altering decisions about career or relationships out of desperation, as these have long-term consequences. Comparing it to eating poison when extremely hungry, he advises that it is better to remain hungry than to consume something harmful. The solution to the problem of loneliness is not to be found in crowds and emotional drama. Addressing the questioner's concern about her parents' conflicts, Acharya Prashant states that he cannot predict the future, but whatever happens will be a result of her own will. He presents two possibilities: either the family's strife will become her own, destroying her mind and wisdom, or she can first save and secure herself. By doing so, she can then offer a living lesson to her family. This lesson is not about empty words or theories but about living a life of peace, stability, understanding, and beauty, which would compel others to reflect. He concludes that the only shield against the poison of life is spirituality. Spirituality was created precisely to save people from the poison of life.
