Acharya Prashant addresses the common struggle of maintaining spiritual progress in daily life, where one's 'default software' or habitual patterns tend to dominate. He explains that a self-correcting mechanism already exists within everyone in the form of pain and restlessness. When we move toward untruth or confusion, we experience suffering, which is nature's way of signaling that we are on the wrong path. However, the problem is that we are biased and dishonest with our own feelings. We often glorify our suffering by giving it respectable names like 'responsibility' or 'duty,' thereby ignoring the actual pain it causes. We have corrupted our own capacity to experience reality by feeling pride where we should feel shame, and by ignoring what is truly valuable.
