It was Guru Nanak who said, "You may try as hard as you can, but you will never get to know the mind of the liberated one." That's from the Adi Granth. You keep trying. You keep speculating. And the ego has a serious urge to know what is going on in the mind of the Buddha. But you'll never know what's there in the mind of the Buddha. Being who you are, how will you know the mind of the Buddha?

Questioner: Sir, you mentioned that there is a dance in Prakriti, that everything is entertainment and fun. But the ego is always in pursuit of sorrow. The whole existence of the ego is because of sorrow—if the sorrow dissolves, the ego dissolves, etc.
So my question was when I look at a liberated person, maybe, I mean, correct me—please, please correct me if I'm wrong. Normally, I see a sense of you know, not—not sort of an Anand or happiness in their face. It's always that there is some sort of sorrow in their face, as opposed to what Prakriti is indicating—that, you know, you have to rejoice, you have to be not in grief. But when I look at them, I mean, it's like—it’s kind of contradicting the message of what Prakriti is giving to them. So why is it so, sir? Is my understanding correct?
Acharya Prashant: Look at how the ego operates. It looks at everything from its own frame of reference. You go to a person who is rejoicing and you say, "This person is suffering." Now, what needs to change—the fact or the definition of suffering?
