Acharya Prashant explains that the mind's attempt to plan for repeated events is a delusion because nothing ever truly repeats. The individual experiencing the event is not the same person they were previously, as they now carry the experience of the past. The mind seeks to label experiences as known to provide a false sense of security and to avoid the inherent fear of the unknown. He notes that fear is the underlying cause of these mental strategies. Referring to Sun Tzu's Art of War, he mentions that the greatest victory is one achieved without fighting, by overwhelming the opponent's mind before the battle even begins. He discusses the origin of loneliness and the constant search for companionship, tracing these feelings back to the trauma of birth. A newborn is thrust from the silence and darkness of the womb into a world filled with overwhelming sights and sounds, causing immediate suffering and a sense of being small in a vast universe. This fundamental insecurity persists throughout life because the world remains largely unknown and unpredictable. The mind craves complete understanding to find peace, but since the universe is infinite, total knowledge is impossible, leaving the individual in a state of perpetual fear. Regarding the question of whether Shri Buddha felt fear when facing Angulimala, Acharya Prashant distinguishes between the physical self and the enlightened state. While the body may experience physiological reactions, the enlightened being remains detached. He draws a parallel with Shri Krishna and the Gopis, explaining that while physical interactions occur, the soul remains unattached and unassociated. The state of an enlightened being transcends simple yes or no answers regarding human emotions or physical experiences, as they exist in a dimension beyond ordinary perception.
