Acharya Prashant explains that life frequently causes us pain and injury because we live in a world of expectations and illusions that do not align with reality. He describes these injuries as shocks that occur when something unexpected happens, such as stumbling over a stone or falling into a pit on the road of life. He argues that these obstacles do not appear suddenly; they were always present, but our lack of awareness prevented us from seeing them until we were hurt. This suffering serves as evidence that the world we believe in is not real, as anything truly real cannot be destroyed or changed into nothingness. We suffer because we try to breathe life into things that do not exist and ignore the facts of existence to protect our false sense of self. He further elaborates that every wound and scar on the mind is a message urging us to wake up from a fake world. Instead of acknowledging the truth, humans often create stories to justify their pain, such as pretending a bandage is a fashion statement or a stone is a diamond. Acharya Prashant identifies the root of this madness as 'individuality' or living in a 'personal' world. He asserts that in existence, nothing is truly personal; everything is part of a vast, interconnected system. To claim something as personal is a sign of insanity because the only true reality is the Self or the Soul, which cannot be pointed to or possessed. He concludes by stating that people remain stuck in their suffering because they are stubborn and continue to follow the dictates of their false personalities even while claiming to know they are living a lie.
