Acharya Prashant clarifies that the phrase 'enjoyment is the key to success' is his own teaching, contrasting it with the common belief that success is tied to happiness. He explains that the mind associates success with happiness, but true success lies in reaching a state of beyondness where one is indifferent to both pleasure and pain. If one is merely seeking happiness, they are trapped in a cycle where sadness is inevitable, as the two are inseparable. True success is not about achieving a goal set by the mind, but about dissolving the ego in a mission so vast that personal joy or sorrow becomes irrelevant. He defines this state of being as 'joy' or 'enjoyment,' which is distinct from the superficial levels of pleasure and happiness. Using the metaphor of a weighted toy that pops back up every time it is hit, Acharya Prashant illustrates that success is the ability to keep standing up despite being struck. This way of living is not for the sake of pleasure, as being hit causes pain, but it represents a victory of spirit where one lives for something greater than themselves. He emphasizes that while the world measures growth by what is gained, true success should be measured by what is lost or dissolved—the reduction of the ego. He recounts his own journey from believing that 'hard work is the key to success' to realizing that the nature of the work matters most. He concludes that 'enjoyment' is the ultimate key because it signifies working to shed the burdens of the self rather than merely accumulating for it.
