A research scholar, who is suffering from a physical condition that causes tailbone pain and limits his ability to sit for long, asks Acharya Prashant how to cope with the resulting mental stress and uncertainty. He also asks how society can develop an ecosystem to help people with such limitations. Acharya Prashant begins his response with a thought experiment. He asks what would happen if we had brains twice as large, which would enable us to do things in a better, smarter, and quicker way. In that case, wouldn't our current brains be considered a disability? Similarly, if we had four hands or legs twice as strong, wouldn't our current bodies feel disabled in comparison? The speaker points out that the current human body itself is a disability when compared to an imagined ideal. However, we do not consider our current state a disability because we think of it as normal. For instance, no one complains about having an IQ of 110, even though an IQ of 250 is theoretically possible, because we accept 110 as normal and do not nurture an imaginary ideal to compare it with. The speaker explains that all thoughts of disability and suffering arise not from the present condition itself, but from an imaginary comparison. It is not the condition that leads to a feeling of disability, but the comparison that does. This suffering hurts when one thinks of an alternative, such as a past healthy state or a future ideal. The solution, therefore, lies in accepting the current situation as normal. The speaker advises to take the condition as it is, with no alternative. When there is no alternative and no comparison, there is no suffering. He shares his own experience of suffering from a chronic autoimmune condition, which he accepts as normal. He does not envision a future of being completely healthy and has total acceptance of his state, which eliminates suffering, though the pain might persist. Addressing the questioner's point about collective action and societal change, Acharya Prashant uses examples to illustrate that the root problem is a lack of wisdom. He mentions a friend who refuses to switch off his car engine at a signal, citing he has enough money for fuel, and a neighbor who celebrates their child's birthday every month. The speaker states that the problem is not the superficial actions but the underlying ignorance. The real issue with the neighbor is not the monthly celebration but the decision to procreate in the first place. He concludes that advising such people is futile as they lack the wisdom to understand. The only way to bring about collective change is to join a mission that works towards enlightenment, which is the work he is doing.
