Acharya Prashant addresses the questioner's concerns about his fluctuating spiritual progress, which he attributes to workplace issues like low salary and unethical behavior. The speaker points out that the questioner's presence is a coincidence, as he happened to be in Nagpur. He suggests that if the desire for clarity were genuine, the questioner would have sought him out much earlier, rather than waiting for two years. Acharya Prashant explains that the problems mentioned—feeling one's salary is insufficient, comparing it with others, and observing wrongdoing in the workplace—are universal. He states that everyone feels their salary is inadequate, everyone compares, and every office has its issues. These are not unique problems but are symptoms of a deeper, fundamental ignorance. When a person lives a hazy, unclear life, they are bound to see many such shadows and illusions. He uses the analogy of a person on the wrong train who, instead of questioning the destination, complains about trivial matters like a dirty toilet or bad food. Even if the train runs faster, it will only take the person to the wrong destination more quickly. He refers to Shri Ramakrishna's concept of 'Kanchan' (money) and 'Kamini' (lust/woman) as the two primary entanglements in an ordinary person's life, represented by the office and home. These minor issues are merely symptoms of the core ignorance. He gives examples of various industries like meat, jewelry, cosmetics, and weapons, which thrive on human greed and desire. People working in these industries are often only concerned with their salaries, not the nature of their work. He emphasizes that the fundamental question one must ask is, "Who am I, and what do I truly need?" or "Which train am I on, and where is it going?" Without addressing this primary question, all other issues are secondary. Acharya Prashant concludes that Vedanta teaches self-knowledge (Atma-gyan). A person who is not aware of themselves and their true situation will inevitably get entangled in such strange and unimportant matters. Spirituality, he explains, is the love for the 'first thing'—the fundamental truth. He points out that many industries, including the coaching industry, thrive on creating greed and fear. He questions the value addition of such industries and urges the questioner to first determine the right direction for his life before worrying about the speed or comfort of the journey.
