Acharya Prashant questions the nature of what people consider pleasure. He posits that if one were truly a lover of pleasure, they would not make peace with the trivial things they call pleasurable, such as psychedelics, drugs, excitement, women, booze, high-speed driving, or a night in a posh hotel. He asks the listener to consider the aftermath of such pleasures: the state of the bedsheet after the night, the hangover the next day, the bad taste in the mouth. He describes a scene after five minutes of sex where one person turns their back and starts snoring, questioning if this can seriously be called pleasure. The speaker clarifies that he is not denigrating these activities on moral grounds but is disparaging them based on their sheer incompleteness. He argues that these experiences do not provide real pleasure and are, in fact, "hollow pleasures." He questions why one would chase the lowest kind of pleasures, especially when it is known that they do not succeed in fulfilling you. He urges the listener to chase the high and the highest pleasures instead. He emphasizes the importance of remembering who you are, distinguishing between the self and the body. He points out that once consciousness is gone, the body is nothing; it will be burned, and its ashes won't be kept. He uses an analogy: you are not your car; you have a car. You wouldn't put beer in your car's radiator. Similarly, you are not the body; you have the body. Since you are not the body, the pleasures of the body cannot satisfy you. Therefore, he concludes, one should give pleasure to oneself, not to the body.
