Do what you must! || Acharya Prashant

Think of a marathon runner. What is his body telling him? Stop. Please stop. I’m tired. Think of a grand slam player. Fifth set, fifth hour. And the player is Roger Federer. What is the body saying? Every single joint is complaining and praying please stop.

What is he saying? One more grand slam. Who is saying one more grand slam? Consciousness must rule. The body must listen to the consciousness. The body is there to obey the commands of consciousness.

Let fatigue and tiredness be there. You do what you must. Let hunger be there. You do what you must. Let thirst be there. You do what you must. That’s what makes you a human being.
