Acharya Prashant addresses the question of what one should do when, despite having all material comforts and facilities, there is no joy, and one wishes to move towards the truth. He explains that this question, "What to do?", is the most fundamental and ultimate question of life. He approaches it not as an abstract spiritual concept but as a very down-to-earth matter, asserting that the right thing to do for any person, at any moment, is the core of spirituality. The speaker categorizes life's issues into two types. The first type includes problems that we are conscious of and acknowledge. The second, more dangerous type, consists of issues that exist but are not on our list of problems because we are unaware of them. This lack of awareness stems from not paying deep attention to our own lives. We tend to look inwards only when forced by a tragedy or a major disruption, and even then, this introspection is often temporary. As soon as the situation improves, the question of "what to do" becomes irrelevant again. Acharya Prashant highlights the irony of human curiosity. We are eager to know about everything happening in the world—from politics to space exploration—yet remain ignorant of our own inner state. He calls this a great disrespect towards one's own life. We might know minute details about the world but are unaware of the reasons for our own moods, which signifies a profound ignorance of our own minds. He states that he cannot help someone who does not know what is happening in their own life, as the individual must first be aware of their own situation. He explains that the solution begins with the simple, honest, and deep question: "What is going on in my life?" This process of self-inquiry is what he calls 'dhyana' (attention). When one starts asking such questions, the existing structures of life—relationships, possessions, and ideologies, which are often built on shallowness and unconsciousness—are threatened. People and things connected to our unconscious state may object to us becoming conscious. This practice of paying attention to one's life is not fashionable or common, but it is essential and should be done continuously.
