Acharya Prashant explains that the words of sages and scriptures, such as the statement that nothing is born and nothing is destroyed, are not meant for intellectual understanding but act as medicine for the mind. Humans continuously live in a state of flux, attached to things that come and go, which is the root of all suffering. We have mistakenly accepted this cycle of arrival and departure, hope and anxiety, as the ultimate truth of life. The speaker emphasizes that while our sensory experience suggests that everything is temporary, our true nature seeks something permanent and reliable that is beyond the reach of time and decay.
