Acharya Prashant addresses the paradox of why humans continue to suffer without turning toward the truth, despite spiritual teachings suggesting that suffering is a medicine. He explains that humans are 'label makers' who often refuse to identify their suffering as such. By attaching pleasant names like 'lust' or 'hope' to states of tension and lack of peace, individuals deceive themselves into craving these states rather than recognizing them as suffering. He notes that our inner states often correspond to beliefs rather than facts, leading us to ignore the reality of our condition until it is too late.
