Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who feels distressed by a lack of achievements at the age of thirty-two despite hard work. He suggests that the pain does not stem from a lack of achievement itself, as achievement has no inherent connection to the soul or the heart. Instead, the suffering arises from the societal conditioning that life is a race. He explains that people often run without knowing why or where they are going, simply because they have been told to do so by loved ones or because they see everyone else running. This lack of internal inspiration leads to shifting goals, broken resolutions, and a constant sense of guilt when compared to others.
