Attention is independent of action || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)

Questioner: Sir, as you said that if the person is free he will be joyful, he is joyful in every task he is doing. So, how will he choose the task?

Shri Prashant: No, he will not feel joy in every task he is doing, the joy is irrespective of the task.

Listener 1: So how will he choose the task then?

Shri Prashant: How are you asking this question? How am I replying to this question?

Did I know what question will you ask? Still there is a response. It appears that there is a choice of words which is being used, my hand is moving, there is certain answer coming to you. Why am I choosing? When I am saying something to you, you are nodding. How are you nodding?

By just being attentive. That’s how he will choose, by observing, by being attentive.

Listener 1: Sir external influences are there.
