Acharya Prashant explains that restlessness is beneficial only if it acts as a signal to utilize time for liberation. However, if restlessness becomes a constant state of agitation, it consumes the very time needed for meaningful action. He compares restlessness to an alarm clock that should wake a person up and then stop; if it keeps ringing, it becomes a disturbance. Many people mistake frantic worry for productive work, but true progress requires a calm and focused mind. He emphasizes that while the intention behind restlessness might be to find peace, without awareness and focus, it only leads to more agitation. He further addresses the question of what one should do next in life to satisfy their internal thirst. He asserts that most people's lives are already cluttered with unnecessary activities and intentions. Instead of seeking a new path, the first step is to clean up the existing mess. Using the analogy of a child covered in mud, he explains that one must first wash away the non-essentials and the garbage from their life. Once this purification occurs, the right direction becomes clear on its own, and the essential aspects of life naturally remain. He concludes that the initial step is always cleaning and purification rather than adding new tasks.
