Change of profession or change of mind?

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Question: Dear Sir,

All desires, all wants are motivated by the ego, and hence desire too is an extension of the self. Now my question is that if we are our thoughts only, then how does one move from what one does not like, let us say his present occupation, to what one likes, let’s say, to be a teacher?

How to ensure that we are involved in ‘pure’ action which is not motivated by conditioning because to be a teacher may also be a desire coming out of one’s conditioning?

Acharya Prashant (AP): There is no need to move towards one’s liking.

The entire Being finds comfort only in what it must be. Your Being does not really need your support to be its comfortable position.

That's where it just is. Being is comfortable, Being is fluid, Being is goal-free, Being is so light that it is (close to) nothing.

So, no need to determine what vocation one should pursue.

The inquiry must be deeper than that.

Change of profession without change of seeing hardly helps.

If the mind is the same, it will remain the same in any profession.
