Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of "living in the moment," describing it as a very misplaced phrase and an ideal often applied to the wrong audience. He explains that for the common person, whose actions are driven by desire (Sakam Karma), it is advisable not to live in the moment. Since desire is always oriented towards the future, one should be mindful of the consequences of their actions. He uses the analogy of someone ordering a lavish meal at a restaurant without considering the bill, which, according to the law of nature (Prakriti), will inevitably arrive. In contrast, for a person who practices desireless action (a Nishkam Karma Yogi), living in the moment is a natural byproduct, not a direct objective. When one is dedicated to something sacred and profoundly important, such as Truth or Love, they automatically live in the moment without worrying about the outcomes, because the action itself is inherently worthwhile. This state, he clarifies, is the exclusive prerogative of a Nishkam Karma Yogi. Acharya Prashant further elaborates on the nature of stress, stating that humans are born with desire, and desire and stress are intrinsically linked. This existential stress arises from a fundamental sense of unfulfillment. However, this stress is not necessarily negative; if channeled correctly, it can be the very force that elevates human consciousness. The issue is not being worried, but rather being worried about petty and trivial matters. He concludes by explaining the concepts of "right stress" and "right desire." Right stress is the concern for something truly consequential, such as liberation (Mukti) or bliss (Anand). He cites Kabir Saheb, who advised that if one must worry, they should worry about "Ram" (the ultimate Truth). The right desire is the one that ultimately leads to desirelessness. The purpose of this sublime desire is to guide a person to a state that justifies their life and birth, offering spiritual relief from the cycle of death. Therefore, one must suffer, but it is crucial to suffer for the right cause.
