A Fat Job Costs! || Acharya Prashant

I must have a fat job. But brother, there are so many other things in life that have mattered to you. You like hanging out with friends. You like being with your girlfriend. You like trekking, hiking, those things. And you feel so wonderful when you are immersed in a great book, Satr or Mupasa or Indian literature. But now that you’re in IIT, you feel a great pressure. I must have a fat job. From where did this commandment come to you?

Who is the inner decision maker?
Is that you or is that someone greatly influenced by the surroundings? We often say, “Oh, there is that little voice inside us.” We call it conscience. Wisdom is to realize that your conscience is all artificial, 100% influenced. Hitler too, in his own eyes, must have been a man of conscience. So who is doer?
