Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who is experiencing stress and an inability to manage her life after starting a new job. He begins by affirming that her reason for working—to be self-reliant and independent—is a beautiful and worthy goal. He likens it to seeing something good that one should strive to obtain. However, he cautions that even the best things should be acquired at the lowest possible price. While a price must be paid, it is wise to see if it can be reduced. The speaker points out that the goal of self-reliance is indeed beautiful, but the price she is paying in the form of her health is too high. He observes that her daily routine is filled with a lot of stress, which is evident from her appearance, and notes that her health has not been good for a long time. He advises her not to quit her job, as that would mean abandoning her important goal of independence, a step that many women take when faced with difficulties. He encourages her to persist. Simultaneously, he advises her to continuously look for a more suitable job, one that doesn't cause dark circles under her eyes or require night shifts and long hours. He warns that if she continues in a job that ruins her health, she will eventually be forced to quit, thus defeating her purpose of achieving self-reliance. He explains that losing one's health leads to the ultimate loss of freedom, using the example of being hospitalized, where one is completely dependent on others and has no say in their own life. This, he says, is the greatest slavery. Therefore, to maintain freedom, one must maintain their health. He suggests reducing expenses to be able to accept a job with a lower salary but a better quality of life, emphasizing that the quality of work should be the priority.
