Acharya Prashant explains that happiness is essentially the shadow or the echo of suffering. He posits that for happiness to be perceived, there must first be a state of lack or pain; for instance, water only brings pleasure to one who is thirsty. Therefore, those who seek intense happiness often inadvertently make suffering a necessity in their lives. He clarifies that suffering is not an objective reality but a label given to anything one does not want. Happiness and suffering are not inherent in objects but are determined by one's desires and attachments. When desires are influenced by external factors and remain unfulfilled, they result in misery. Regarding the nature of a saint, Acharya Prashant challenges the stereotype that a saint must abandon the world. He argues that a saint is actually more connected to the world than an average person. While an ordinary individual may have a few dozen relationships, a saint's relationships extend to thousands or millions because they have expanded their sense of belonging. A saint feels the pain of the world because they are deeply connected to it, much like Kabir Saheb, who wept seeing the world burning in its own ignorance and suffering. The saint does not leave the world but transforms their relationship with it from one of attachment to one of universal love. Addressing the issue of restlessness, Acharya Prashant suggests that instead of searching for peace, one should investigate where they are picking up restlessness from. He asserts that peace is a natural, ever-present state that is often obscured by the 'mediators' or means we use to find it, such as money, entertainment, or social status. Restlessness is often 'purchased' at a high cost of time and resources, whereas peace is free. He advises that to end desire, one must understand the mind's deepest, most fundamental needs rather than trying to suppress them or fulfilling them with superficial substitutes. True peace is found by recognizing and valuing moments of silence and love when they occur, rather than discarding them for worldly priorities.
