Acharya Prashant responds to a person's plan to get married at the age of 28. He sarcastically questions why one would wait until 28, asking if they expect to attain enlightenment then. He points out that the justification for waiting—to secure a job, a flat, and security—reveals an underlying fear. The plan itself is based on the fear that a partner would not come without these material possessions. He criticizes the act of presenting such fear-based plans with confidence, calling it foolish. The speaker explains that most of our plans are born out of fear. He gives an example of a long-term financial plan and questions whether it arises from love for the world or from fear. He highlights the contradiction in wanting to fearlessly follow a plan that is itself a product of fear. Our plans, he states, originate from a fear of the future, which means we are afraid in the present moment. Therefore, all our plans are coming from fear. He further elaborates that making a plan to become fearless in the future is an admission of being fearful now and accepting that fear for the foreseeable future. This postponement of fearlessness shows how deeply afraid one is. While not every plan is necessarily born of fear, because we are fearful individuals, all of our plans are. In a fearless life, the need for extensive planning is very limited. A fearless person might make a practical plan, like booking a travel ticket, but their plans are not driven by existential dread. In contrast, our plans are often elaborate and far-reaching, dictating our entire future, from children to careers. Such detailed life maps would not exist without an underlying fear. A plan born of fear closes all possibilities for future fearlessness. By making a fearful plan for the future, one ruins both the present and the future. If one addresses their current state of fear, their perspective on the future will change. The future will no longer seem like a threat or an attractive invitation, and the compulsion to constantly plan for it will diminish.
