Acharya Prashant explains that individuals experience hurt and suffering because they are available to it due to a lack of dedication to a sublime purpose. He asserts that life only wounds those who are effectively jobless, failing to commit to the lifelong mission of liberation. This mission is a full-time occupation that requires constant attention. He describes time as a divine trust rather than personal property, suggesting that using time for petty matters or personal suffering is a form of theft from the one who entrusted that time to the individual. Suffering, he argues, cannot occur without the individual's active participation and consent. Addressing the topic of physical pain, Acharya Prashant suggests that focusing on pain, whether by watching it or trying to avoid it, indicates an undue interest in it. He illustrates that when one is fully occupied with a worthwhile goal, such as a sportsperson seeking victory, physical discomfort ceases to be a significant distraction. He emphasizes that the body is naturally a storehouse of pain and will eventually perish, so one should not be overly concerned with it. Instead of dwelling on past experiences or making personal plans, he advises being absolutely busy with the absolute, allowing divine guidance to dictate one's actions and planning.
