Acharya Prashant explains that when relationships change because one stops treating certain individuals as special, it is actually a return to a healthy state. Making someone special often harms them, and the pain felt from their complaints is directly proportional to the special importance still being given to them. He emphasizes that true help is not a transaction; one should not expect gratitude or praise in return. Just as a doctor treats a struggling child or a person bandages a wounded dog despite being bitten, one must continue to do good without being affected by the recipient's immediate negative reaction. He notes that those who are small-hearted cannot engage in the business of helping others because the world will inevitably break their hearts. Real help often involves breaking a person's identification with lies, which naturally causes them to react with anger or complaints initially. Acharya Prashant cites the example of Osho, who, after the destruction of his commune, remained 'wounded but not hurt.' Osho did not blame the women he had trusted, understanding that their actions were a result of historical suppression rather than personal malice. The essence of true love and service lies in remaining faithful even when met with unfaithfulness, performing one's duty without the desire for followers or thanks.
