Acharya Prashant explains that goals and botheration are deeply interconnected, suggesting that goals actually arise from a state of inner worry and a sense of incompleteness. He argues that when a person is truly light and joyful, they do not feel the need to plan or obsess over future targets. A goal acts as a false medicine because it promises a future cure for a suffering that is happening in the present. This creates a cycle where one believes they will be adequate or lovable only after achieving a specific milestone, such as a degree, a job, or a promotion, yet the sense of fulfillment remains elusive even after these are attained.
