Acharya Prashant addresses the agony of feeling like there is nothing to hold onto, questioning why one provides energy to a spinning head or attaches themselves to pain. He explains that the subject and object exist together; if pain is present, it is because a subject is choosing to be attached to it. Pain is not an independent object but a quality of the relationship between the self and an object. He clarifies that claiming to have dropped objects while still experiencing pain is false, as pain is like a shadow that cannot exist without an object. Often, the attempt to become unattached actually makes the relationship with an object stickier because the object now occupies the mind more intensely.
