A questioner asks Acharya Prashant about the small pleasures (sukh) one gets while pursuing worldly objects, suggesting these pleasures act as proof that ultimate peace (chain) can be found in them. Acharya Prashant begins by questioning if these small pleasures are what one truly desires, highlighting the difference between fleeting happiness and lasting peace. He explains that we define sorrow as the state of not having obtained a desired object, and happiness as the brief event of its attainment. This means the entire period of striving is defined as sorrow. He questions why we don't demand proof from the one who asks us to endure so much sorrow for a fleeting moment of happiness. He uses the analogy of an eagle's chick raised among crows. The chick forgets its true nature, learns to caw, fly low, and peck at filth, becoming content with small things and forgetting its potential to soar in the vast sky. This, he says, is a metaphor for humans who, born for greatness, become conditioned by their environment to live a limited, mediocre life, forgetting their true Self (Atma). Acharya Prashant states that we have a habit of being content with little, allowing our external circumstances to become our internal state. He criticizes the saying "Contentment is the ultimate happiness" in this context, asserting that life's purpose is to constantly challenge oneself, not to settle down like dust. This requires "creative destruction" of old patterns. He encourages embracing a life that is "dramatic" or "heroic" by breaking from the norm, rather than fearing it as "abnormal." The goal of spirituality, he explains, is to awaken the hero within and live a life of dignity that one can be proud of. This is the realization of the Self, which is something to be revered, unlike the ego, which lives in shame.
