Acharya Prashant addresses the common fear of 'what will others think,' particularly when choosing an unconventional career path. He begins by stating that this fear is not a universal experience and presents three situations where it does not arise. First, when you are doing something genuinely beneficial for someone, you do not worry about their thoughts. Second, when you are engaged in a task that is on a higher plane of consciousness, you are not bothered by the opinions of those at a lower level, much like an adult is not affected by a child's taunts. He emphasizes that the level of consciousness is what matters, not physical age. Third, when you are deeply in love with your work, your mind is so consumed by that love that there is no space left to consider others' opinions. The speaker explains that the fear of judgment primarily arises when one is about to do something wrong, harmful, or break a social contract. He encourages the questioner, who is passionate about poetry, to pursue it with love. When work is born from love, it is not a selfish act but something universally valuable. The joy derived from such work is the primary reward, and any financial gain is merely a bonus. This approach is foolproof because it does not depend on external validation or monetary success. He contrasts this with superficial business ideas that are highly competitive and driven by profit rather than passion. Acharya Prashant advises to evaluate people based on their level of consciousness, not their age or social status. Many people are like children in their consciousness, and their opinions should not be taken seriously. He suggests using a 'consciousness lens' to see the world, which diminishes the stature of those with lower consciousness, making their criticism irrelevant. If your work, like poetry, is truly meaningful, it will benefit everyone, including those who criticize it. Therefore, one should have pride in doing valuable work and not be swayed by the opinions of others.
