Questioner: Acharya Ji, which direction to take in life?
Acharya Prashant: What is it, that matters to you?
The direction in which you must go is determined by where you will feel the pain.
And if you feel no pain, no discomfort, why must you go in any direction?
You move only because your current station discomforts you. So what is your discomfort? Your discomfort will decide where to move to and how to move. And if you are already well-settled, and alright, then that’s Samaadhi. Why must you contemplate any movement then?
I find it strange to see that why do we keep talking about moving, without caring to examine what makes us move. Why must there be any movement at all?
You are a human being. Any movement that you make, physical, psychological, involves costs, time, resources. Every movement is a chunk of your limited lifespan. That’s why movement is life. Must you then move irresponsibly? Is life there to be wasted?
