Acharya Prashant discusses the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj, specifically the instruction to please one's consciousness rather than the body. He explains that the pleasures of the body, known as Sukha, are fundamentally different from the pleasures of consciousness, known as Ananda. While bodily pleasures reinforce identification with the physical form, the pleasures of consciousness lead to the dissolution of all identifications. He notes that consciousness often becomes entangled with the body because it is lonely, and spiritual growth involves giving consciousness something higher than physical gratification to associate with, even if it causes discomfort to the body.
