Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the suffering caused by uncertainty arises from the unrealistic expectation of finding certainty in a world that is inherently a flowing flux. He describes the world as a stream of time where everything changes every nanosecond, making it impossible for anything to possess stability or unchangeability. The human mind, by its internal constitution, seeks security and a point of no change, which leads to feelings of betrayal and hurt when it trusts in the transient things of the world. He notes that people often try to buy security through donations or religious rituals, but true security cannot be found in the material world.
