Acharya Prashant explains that both doing and not doing are functions of the doer, who acts as the internal instrument making choices. He questions whether this internal instrument is reliable and trustworthy, emphasizing that if the internal fundamentals are not in place, the output or action will inevitably be wrong. He observes that most people are confident in their actions without ever investigating the source of their doership, leading them to follow conditioned instincts and societal expectations regarding careers, religion, and personal milestones. He points out that these lists of 'dos and don'ts' are often generated by alien influences—such as culture, nationality, and gender—rather than being authentically one's own. He highlights how individuals often feel immense pressure to conform to external standards, such as an IIT student feeling compelled to pursue a high-paying job despite having different personal interests. Acharya Prashant warns that the 'inner voice' or conscience is often 100% influenced by external factors and varies from person to person, sometimes leading to horrible deeds. He asserts that action is typically driven by a desire to change something or gain a result, but one must question if the goal is truly meaningful. He concludes that instead of focusing on the action itself, one must know the doer, understand what is lacking, and identify what needs to be shed to find the one right direction unambiguously.
