Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of living in the present, explaining that its value depends entirely on the intention and the center from which one operates. He posits that there are two centers within a person. One can choose to live in the present from the ego-centric center, which is often done to seek pleasure and forget the consequences of one's actions. He likens this to a criminal who, when committing a crime, is fully in the present, acting on impulse without any thought for the future. This form of living in the moment is often promoted by consumerism, urging people to act instantly on their desires, which usually leads to inauspicious outcomes. Alternatively, living in the present can be an expression of selfless action, or 'Nishkam Karma'. This involves doing what is right without being attached to or concerned about the results. The speaker emphasizes that true living in the present must originate from this right center, aiming not for gratification but for liberation. It is a state of being so completely immersed in right action (Dharma) that there is no mental space left to worry about the outcomes. He notes that we are often reluctant to do the right thing immediately, which is why saints have taught to do tomorrow's good deeds today, whereas we are quick to indulge in trivial or harmful impulses. Acharya Prashant then redefines concepts like beauty and vocation from a spiritual perspective. He explains that true beauty is the absence of ugliness, and since the world is an ugly place, beauty is freedom from the world. Quoting 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', he states that the Truth alone is beautiful. Therefore, anything in the world that leads one towards the Truth can be considered beautiful, while anything that is conventionally attractive but pulls one away from the Truth is, in fact, the ugliest. Similarly, he defines one's true vocation or work as the effort made towards liberation from the prison of our conditioned existence. He distinguishes this from mere labor, which is what most people do to sustain their lives within this prison, thereby perpetuating their bondage. True work liberates, whereas labor simply tires.
