Acharya Prashant explains that for most people, suffering does not lead to liberation but instead pushes them into deeper suffering. He illustrates this with the example of wrong relationships, stating that one wrong relationship does not kindle wisdom but rather breeds a hundred more. This creates a cycle of suffering that continues in a downward spiral. Because we suffer, our ability to ward off suffering diminishes even more. He compares this to a sick person with a compromised immune system; the sickness further weakens the immunity, leading to even deeper illness. This is how most people are, with their lives becoming a succession of sufferings, each one deeper and worse than the previous one. Instead of life being a journey of continuous learning, maturity, and eventual liberation, it becomes a process where we are born in bondage and keep gathering heavier chains with each passing year. The speaker advises being cautious of things that appear, names that reverberate in the mind, and things that attract or repel. This is because there is something within us that wants a sick relationship with things. He asserts that nothing in the world is so important that one should fall in love with it, nor so abhorrent that one should hate it. There is a desire to associate with the world, whether through affection or disaffection. To attain peace, one must go beyond the beyond. The speaker clarifies that there is a 'beyondness' which is a concept of the mind, and there is a true 'beyondness' which is beyond all concepts of the mind. The seers knew that simply saying 'beyond' would be misinterpreted. The thing worth loving is without name and form. If name and form cause one to sink, one must find a way to use them for upliftment. The path to the absolute is through the relative, by taking one step at a time. The only option available is to do the utmost that is possible in the present moment. One must have a strong will arising from discretion, or an unreasonable love, as a force on one's side. Otherwise, the force of inert tendencies is too overwhelming.
