Acharya Prashant explains that the power and attributes of the soul, such as being untouched and eternally healthy, belong solely to the soul and cannot be expected of the mind or body. It is a manifestation of the ego to demand that the physical body, which is naturally prone to disease, decay, and death, remain in a state of constant health. He warns against the common spiritual misunderstanding where an individual identifies their body and mind as the ultimate truth or the absolute. When such a person falls ill, they lose faith in spirituality because they mistakenly believe that the absolute itself is suffering. The ego seeks to bring the infinite down to its own level of limitation rather than surrendering to it. True living involves accepting and finding joy within the inherent incompleteness of the world. Acharya Prashant distinguishes between the ignorant and the wise based on their expectations of the world. The ignorant person constantly demands perfection and completeness from worldly things like wealth, status, or the body, which the world can never provide. In contrast, the wise person understands that the world is fundamentally imperfect and therefore stops demanding perfection from it, finding peace in its incompleteness. He defines true health as a state of being centered in the self, noting that while the body is always subject to illness and the mind is only occasionally healthy in states of deep meditation, the soul remains eternally healthy. He further clarifies the difference between satisfaction and contentment. Satisfaction is dependent on the fulfillment of desires, whereas contentment is a state of equanimity that remains unchanged whether desires are fulfilled or not. This inner completeness is the foundation for excellence in action. Acharya Prashant asserts that perfection is an internal, unlimited state that must be realized first; only then can one's outward actions reflect true excellence. One who feels internally incomplete or inferior will struggle to achieve excellence in the world. Therefore, one should not seek joy from the body or the world but should remain joyful even amidst physical suffering or worldly failure.
