Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of losing passion for work after engaging with spirituality. He suggests two possibilities. The more likely one is that the work itself is not worthy of being done with full concentration. Its futility is becoming apparent, which is why one doesn't feel like investing energy in it. This leads to a state of confusion where the old ways are seen as pointless, but a new path has not yet been found, causing distress. He warns against reverting to old habits for the sake of comfort. One might mistakenly blame spirituality for the turmoil and long for the old, seemingly simpler life. However, he states that going back is impossible. Once something is understood, one cannot feign ignorance. Trying to return to old patterns will only lead to a more uncomfortable and strange state. The second, less likely possibility is that a person is using spirituality as an excuse for their inherent laziness to avoid work, just as they might use other excuses like bad weather or health. Responding to a point about working without desiring the fruits (karmaphal), Acharya Prashant clarifies that this principle applies only to one who is free from all bondages. As long as a person is in bondage, the doer (karta) exists, and where there is a doer, there will be fruits of action. A person in chains needs the fruit of freedom. Therefore, they must perform actions that lead to that fruit. He advises that instead of aiming for desireless action (nishkam karma) immediately, one should focus on 'right action' (samyak karma). Right action is what cuts one's bondages. By consistently performing right action, one will eventually reach the state of desireless action. For now, it is crucial to perform actions and keep a keen eye on the kind of fruit they are producing. He also briefly touches upon fear, explaining that it exists in all states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and subtly in deep sleep—because the ego is present. The way to go beyond fear is to perform one's own work while letting consciousness do its work of being afraid.
