Acharya Prashant explains that to deal with failure, one does not need an approach but an understanding of reality. He states that you wanted to do something for a reason; it was not a random act. If you did not attempt that thing, you would suffer, and that is why you are acting. The thing you are attempting is important, and if you do not attempt it, you will not feel good and there will be a hollow within. The situation at the start is, "I am suffering, that's why I am acting." When you act to relieve your suffering, the action demands a price to be paid, and this price includes failures in terms of results. The speaker asks to consider which suffering is bigger. There are two sufferings to compare: the suffering that first impelled you to act, which he calls the "mother suffering," and the suffering that comes from the action itself, such as failure and disappointment. He points out that the suffering from failure starts to appear very big because you forget the mother suffering that pushed you to act in the first place. If failure is so painful, then one should not act at all. However, you will act, because not acting—inaction—will hurt even more. We forget that mother reality. Therefore, you have to choose between two sufferings, and you should choose the lesser, or higher, suffering. Suffering is a fact of life, so you must suffer rightly. If there is a cause worth dedicating yourself to, you must plunge into it and give yourself to it. When you do these things, you will face resistance and headwinds, and a feeling will arise asking why you are inviting so much trouble. The way is to remind yourself that the trouble you are facing is not needless. If the inner clamor grows too loud, you can tell yourself that you are resigning or quitting. However, you cannot quit, irrespective of how bad it is to continue. Acharya Prashant advises to first pick your ambitions wisely and know very well why the things you want deserve to be wanted. Be very choosy and discreet in deciding your goals. Most things that tempt and attract us do not really deserve to be pursued. If you pick an unworthy goal, the suffering along the path will become too much, and you will drop out, which is a wise thing to do. But if you have picked your goals rightly and are still facing suffering, remind yourself of the mother suffering. Worthy projects can run only on innate inspiration, not on external support. As a young person, you should not want ratification or support from others; if it comes, it is a bonus. A relationship is worth it only if it nourishes the people in it. The fundamental question to ask is whether the relationship is nourishing for both individuals involved.
