Acharya Prashant addresses the concern of livelihood and future worries hindering one's ability to pursue meaningful work. He acknowledges that the body has basic needs like food and clothing, which must be provided for. He advises making arrangements for these necessities and then setting the matter aside. He uses an analogy from Kabir Saheb, who said, "When the mind comes and barks, throw it a piece of bread." Acharya Prashant explains that the mind is like a black bitch that starts barking with distracting thoughts as soon as one tries to meditate or engage in devotional practice. The solution is to pacify it by taking care of its basic security needs. What Kabir Saheb refers to as the "black bitch" is essentially our body-mind, which requires a minimum level of security to be at peace, thus allowing one to focus on spiritual pursuits. He further explains that physical comfort is necessary for spiritual practice. It is difficult to listen or meditate when experiencing pain, hunger, or extreme weather. However, he cautions against dedicating one's entire life to this "clay effigy" of the body. It is crucial to distinguish between fulfilling basic needs and falling into greed. Basic needs have a definite end, whereas greed is endless. One must clearly identify their basic needs and keep them limited to just that. Acharya Prashant clarifies that spirituality and earning money are not contradictory. No saint, including Kabir Saheb, has ever been against arranging for a certain amount of money for sustenance. He quotes Kabir again: "O Kabir, give me just enough for my family to subsist... I should not remain hungry, nor should the saint go hungry." This implies arranging for one's own needs and having a little extra to share. The correct approach is to first determine the right purpose in life and then figure out how to earn a minimal amount while following that path, rather than prioritizing money-making and then trying to fit spirituality into the leftover time. Finally, he dismisses the fear of future calamities, such as illness, as an excuse to avoid taking the right action in the present. He calls these worries about improbable events futile. He states that a person who is truly free is not affected even if their body is paralyzed, whereas a person enslaved by their mind is already mentally paralyzed. He concludes that money should be for life, not life for money; life should be for peace and truth.
