If non-doing is important, what if I want to do something good for the world? || Acharya Prashant

Question: Sir, you said, ‘non-doing is important’. What if I want to do something good for the world?

Acharya Prashant: Let the dreamer live to materialise his dream.

If you have a dream, then you will have to continue to materialise that dream. Right? Dreams are always for the future. If I have a dream, then I will have to continue myself into the future to materialise that dream, to fulfil that dream.

And what is this continuation into the future?

This is what is called as the flow of suffering.

Now the next thing — you want to do good to the world.

Do good to the world by not doing what the world is doing. The world is suffering out of its own ignorance and stupidity. Do good to the world by not being ignorant.

Your own wisdom is the highest good that you can do to the world.

He was born in a Hindu Kshatriya family, he was a prince and ever since his childhood he was quite talented. So, one thing about him is that he was quite well-read. Second thing is, he was deeply interested in knowing the depths of life. He did not want to remain merely at the superficial levels, so he would observe a lot, he would think a lot. https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/todays-buddha-1_4d1b6bf

Nothing is preordained. Every moment you have the liberty to make a fresh choice. The principle of karma offers you great freedom; the principle of karma simply does not sit well with any kind of fatalistic argument.

Live like a king || Neem Candies

What you are is what you get. If you are continuously getting rubbish from the world, you know who you are. If you are constantly being mistreated in this life, then you know who you are.

The Saints have lived like kings, even though the world has often prosecuted them.…
