Acharya Prashant explains that fear and panic are inseparable from the way most people set their objectives. He points out that goals usually arise from a mind conditioned by beliefs and a deep-seated sense of inferiority. When a person believes that achieving a goal will make them 'better off' or 'complete,' they simultaneously create the fear of failure. This sense of incompleteness becomes the engine that powers their journey, leading to a life of constant anxiety and panic. He argues that as long as one's motivation is rooted in the hope of gaining something external to feel worthy, fear will remain a constant companion. He describes a different mode of working where one is already 'all right' and centered. In this state, work does not arise from a need to redeem oneself or fill an internal void. When one works from a place of completeness, the quality of the work changes, and the goals themselves become more worthy. Such a person can work with great energy and intensity without being bothered by success or failure. Whether they win or lose, they remain joyful because their well-being is not tied to the outcome. This shift moves the individual away from the 'carrot and stick' motivation of greed and fear, which Acharya Prashant describes as demeaning and humiliating. Acharya Prashant encourages the discovery of a real internal engine that allows for hard work and movement without the associated suffering and grief. He observes that most people going to work appear tense, angry, or bored because they are driven by external pressures rather than joy. He suggests that work should be as natural and sacred as breathing or a heartbeat. When work becomes an expression of one's life rather than a means to an end, it cannot be taken away, and the possibility of panic disappears. In this state, one works because it is their nature, and external rewards are seen merely as a bonus rather than a necessity for survival or self-worth.
