A questioner expresses that after listening to Acharya Prashant, his life has become chaotic. He finds himself oscillating between his old ways and the new teachings, and despite knowing certain actions are wrong, he still engages in them. He feels that instead of finding peace, his mind resists the speaker's words. Acharya Prashant responds by stating that this experience is a very good thing. He is more concerned about those who claim to have fun listening to him, remarking, "Listening to myself, I haven't had fun to this day, so how did you?" He explains that the entire spiritual work is about demolishing old, rotten structures and clearing the debris, a process that inevitably involves destruction and pain. He asserts that if one cannot bear this hurt, there is no point in being young. This work is not for the weak, and since life itself is not for the weak, the highest work cannot be either. The chaos in the questioner's life is a reason to celebrate, as it signifies the removal of old, useless things. The pain arises from attachment to these old habits, which also causes resistance towards the one inspiring the change. Acharya Prashant likens the spiritual process to a painful surgery on the heart, referencing a Zen saying that a true disciple must have contemplated killing his master at least once. He introduces two crucial words from the Bhagavad Gita: 'Titikshasva' (endure) and 'Yudhyasva' (fight). He explains that endurance (Titiksha) is a key virtue for a seeker, as mentioned by Adi Shankaracharya in the 'Sadhana Chatushtaya'. The second word, 'Yudhyasva', means to fight and not retreat. The entire Gita, he says, is about fighting the righteous war (Dharma-yuddha) without backing down, even if it means shedding one's own blood and fighting one's own people. He reassures the questioner that what he is experiencing is auspicious and that this process will continue for a long time, with the wounds getting deeper as he progresses. The ultimate goal of self-knowledge is to annihilate the inner entity that constantly gets hurt. When this hurt-prone self is gone, one is no longer a slave to circumstances, praise, or criticism. By enduring the pain without giving it importance, this entity dissolves, and true life begins. If one can be wounded by the world, the past, or circumstances, one will be enslaved by them. The goal is to become someone who is not affected by wounds and can continue their work regardless.
