Acharya Prashant addresses a query regarding a couplet by Baba Bulleh Shah, which suggests that when the world calls a lover of the Divine an infidel, one should simply accept it. The questioner asks how to practice indifference when one's own mind, rather than the world, begins to cast blame and accusations. Acharya Prashant explains that the difficulty arises from a false division between the world and one's own mind. He clarifies that viewing the mind as a separate, personal entity ('my mind') distinct from the rest of the world is an error. He emphasizes that there is only the Divine and its nature; any other division leads to attachment, preference, and conflict. By recognizing that the mind is not a separate 'self' but part of the same external nature, one can apply the same quality of indifference to internal thoughts as one does to external criticism. He concludes that the sense of 'my mind' is a misconception and that true spiritual practice involves seeing beyond these artificial boundaries.
