Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to set priorities right in every situation. He explains that the ability to prioritize one thing over another is contingent upon knowing what is more important *for you*. Using the analogy of choosing a hot or cold beverage based on whether one feels cold or hot, he illustrates that priorities are determined by one's current state and needs. The fundamental problem, he states, is that most people are out of touch with themselves and lack self-knowledge. They are unaware of their inner condition, their needs, and their requirements, which makes it impossible to prioritize or make meaningful decisions. Due to this lack of self-awareness, people often decide randomly, follow the crowd, or let circumstances dictate their choices. The speaker points out that inwardly, every person requires healing, treatment, and completion, and there is a deep, yelling demand from within for something specific. However, most people are deaf to this inner voice because their attention is entirely tuned to the external world. This inner darkness is the root cause of confusion when faced with choices like work versus family, or saving versus spending. Acharya Prashant asserts that decision-making should not be a problem at all; in fact, one should not even be required to make a choice. True clarity about who you are and what you want makes the process of choosing redundant. This clarity, he says, begets a state of "choicelessness," which is a beautiful state where one can proceed smoothly through life without the painful process of pausing and brooding over decisions. The confusion in the hour of choice is not about that particular choice but arises from a fundamental inner darkness. Therefore, the solution is to first gain clarity by getting in touch with one's inner self, which will naturally resolve all dilemmas of prioritization.
