Acharya Prashant explains that the doubtlessness of a saint like Kabir Saheb arises from the sheer intensity of their suffering and longing for the Divine. He clarifies that the acknowledgement of agony and the assurance of union are not contradictory but complementary. When suffering is minor, people tend to tolerate it and live with discomfort. However, separation from God is an immense, searing pain that affects every aspect of existence, making it impossible to endure indefinitely. This intensity convinces the seeker that the situation must change, as something so extreme cannot persist forever. He contrasts the saint's experience with that of the common person, who uses coping mechanisms to manage their discontent. While the common man uses occasional pleasures, such as entertainment or physical gratification, to mask their suffering and maintain false structures, the saint remains honest and refuses to compromise. Because the saint does not distract themselves with mundane pleasures, their suffering reaches a boiling point much faster. This honesty and refusal to lie to oneself lead to the conviction that union is inevitable, much like the darkness is most intense just before the dawn.
