Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the feeling of being a victim and the recurring thought that one has been treated unfairly. He explains that everything that troubles a person is actually a revelation of their own internal weakness. Instead of being angry at the world or the person who caused the trouble, one should be grateful for the revelation that they are still vulnerable enough to be affected. He uses the analogy of a pathology report; just as one pays a pathologist for delivering bad news about their health so they can seek treatment, one should view life's troubles as diagnostic tools that highlight a lack of spiritual strength. Shooting the messenger—blaming the external world for internal distress—is a common but foolish egoic response that prevents self-improvement.
