Acharya Prashant responds to a question about whether it is possible to live life without psychological hurt. He states that as long as the entity that can be hurt exists within, it is essential that it gets hurt not just once, but a hundred times. He clarifies that while the experience of being hurt is occasional, the part of us that is susceptible to hurt—the weak, feeble entity—is always present. The problem is that people want to eliminate the experience of hurt without addressing the one who gets hurt, which he identifies as the ego. This desire to keep the ego intact while avoiding pain is a form of self-deception. The speaker argues that getting hurt is necessary because it reveals our inner weakness and the need for treatment. Without the experience of hurt, we would delude ourselves into believing we are healthy. He outlines four levels of being in relation to hurt. The lowest level is the person who numbs the pain with distractions like entertainment or even spirituality. The second level, where most people reside, is the ordinary person who gets flustered by hurt. The third level is the seeker (sadhak) who actively invites hurt, understanding it as a necessary treatment to eliminate inner weakness. The highest level is the one in whom everything that could be hurt has been burnt away, and thus, they can no longer be hurt. Acharya Prashant advises against aspiring for the highest state while being at a lower one. Instead, one should focus on taking the next step. If one is at the level of an ordinary person, they should adopt the attitude of a seeker and welcome hurt. Pain becomes its own treatment. He encourages listeners not to fear or escape pain but to face the world with a broad chest and take the blows. This is the way to destroy the false, weak self and realize the real, invulnerable Self, which cannot be hurt.
