Acharya Prashant explains that one should not feel hurt or bad if another person is not faithful or does not respond as expected. He emphasizes that if you are not demanding anything in return, you have nothing to lose and no reason to be afraid. Using the examples of offering nuts to a squirrel or a toy to a small child, he points out that if the recipient does not accept the offering, it should not lead to abuse or anger. He notes that the human ego is often so fragile that even a refusal from a beggar can cause hurt because of an underlying expectation for acknowledgement or reciprocity.
