Acharya Prashant discusses a verse from the Ashtavakra Gita, expressing astonishment that even a sage who perceives the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self can still harbor a sense of possessiveness or 'mine-ness'. He explains that for such an advanced seeker, falling back into egoic attachments is a significant lapse. However, he clarifies that falling or suffering is actually a blessing and a part of the awakening process. Pain serves as a divine message, indicating that one's current way of living or beliefs are out of harmony with existence. It acts as a reminder that the path taken is incorrect and that one needs to return to the Truth.
