A PhD scholar, who is suffering from a physical condition called coccydynia (tailbone pain) that prevents him from sitting for long periods, asks Acharya Prashant how to cope with the resulting mental stress and uncertainty, especially as it affects his research. He also asks how society can develop a more supportive ecosystem for people with such limitations. Acharya Prashant begins his response with a thought experiment, asking what would happen if humans had brains twice as large or four hands. He explains that with such enhancements, we would be able to accomplish much more. He then posits that our current, ordinary brains and bodies are, in fact, a form of disability when compared to a hypothetical ideal. The current human body itself is a limitation. However, we do not perceive our ordinary state as a disability because we consider it normal and do not constantly compare it to an imaginary, superior ideal. 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 within the normal range. The speaker clarifies that the feeling of disability and the associated suffering do not arise from the physical condition itself, but from the act of comparison. The scholar is suffering because he is comparing his current state to his past, healthier self or to an ideal future where he is free from pain. It is this comparison that is the root of his mental stress. The solution, therefore, is to stop comparing and to accept the current condition as the new normal, without an alternative. It is not the condition that leads to a feeling of disability, but the comparison. Acharya Prashant shares his own experience with a chronic autoimmune condition. He states that while it causes him physical pain, especially in the mornings, he does not suffer mentally because he has total acceptance of his state. He does not envision a future of perfect health or compare his current state to the past. He advises the questioner to treat his condition as normal. It hurts when you think of the alternative or the so-called healthy ideal. When you accept that this is how it is and there is no alternative, the suffering ceases, even if the pain remains. The problem is not the condition, but the comparison with an imaginary ideal.
