Acharya Prashant explains that acting with a purpose is rooted in a sense of deprivation and exploitation. When one acts to attain something, it implies that they are currently unfulfilled and are living in a state of discomfort, relying on future promises. He points out that the mind's actions can only bring about mind-made results and can never reach that which is beyond the mind. Realization begins when one understands that acting for attainment is futile and instead acts from a state of fullness. In this state, action becomes purposeless and goal-free, similar to the natural flow of a river or the dancing of puppies. He emphasizes that purpose brings heaviness and a lack of fulfillment because it is always situated in the future. Ultimately, he suggests that hope acts as a barrier to the actual, and one must move beyond hope to experience real joy in the present.
