Acharya Prashant explains that the human mind is inherently divided and can only perceive reality through comparison and contrast. He asserts that the diversity we see in the world is not an objective reality but a projection of the mind's fragmented nature. The mind understands experiences like joy only in relation to sorrow, much like how white text is only legible against a black background. This duality—the constant oscillation between opposites—is what Kabir Saheb refers to as a state of suffering or hell. The speaker emphasizes that the world and the individual are not separate; rather, they define each other. To identify as a specific nationality or gender, one must first mentally divide the world into countries or sexes.
