Acharya Prashant responds to a trainee teacher who is facing harassment from students and a fellow teacher, with no support from the school administration. He begins by narrating an experience of seeing a lone tree standing firm in the barren Aravalli hills amidst strong winds. He likens the tree's resilience to how one should face adversity. The tree's branches and leaves were blowing back, like a person's hair in the wind, but it stood its ground, chest puffed out, alone against the gales. He saw it for a few seconds before his car moved on, but the image of it standing alone, with no one else around, against strong winds, and not leaving its place, left a lasting impression. Addressing the questioner's situation, Acharya Prashant states that he cannot offer specific tactical advice without knowing all the details, such as her financial dependence on the job or the availability of alternative employment. His immediate response could be to advise her to quit, but that would only be appropriate if she has other options. However, he emphasizes the great satisfaction in not bowing down to adverse circumstances. When the world wants you to become like it, to bow down to its ways, there is a unique joy in standing firm on your own ground. He clarifies that her experience is not a unique incident but a widespread issue reflecting the state of our society, education, and values. The root of all misbehavior lies in the mind, and it is the mind that needs to be cleansed. He advises her to continue protesting in every way she can, even if she cannot leave the job. The one thing she must not do is to become like those who are harassing her. Even if her resistance doesn't seem to yield immediate results, she must persist. He compares this to a tree that endures a drought; it may not show growth, but by just standing, it builds strength. When the rains come, it flourishes. Similarly, by standing firm in difficult times, one develops a strong inner core, which will show its power when circumstances become favorable. He encourages her to not be disheartened, as situations change, and the strength she builds within will eventually manifest. Later, responding to another questioner, Acharya Prashant discusses the difference between physical and psychological fulfillment. He explains that small things like food, clothing, and money are necessary for physical needs. It is appropriate to pursue them for their limited purpose. However, the problem arises when people expect big things, like psychological or spiritual fulfillment, from these small material things. He quotes Kabir Saheb: "O Lord, give me just enough for my family's needs, so that I am not hungry, and any visiting sage is not hungry either." This illustrates the right attitude—to seek enough for one's legitimate needs but not to run blindly after money with the false hope that it will bring completeness. He distinguishes between physical fulfillment, which is a legitimate need, and psychological or spiritual fulfillment, which cannot be bought with money.
