Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who, despite her knowledge and being a psychologist, is struggling with the grief of losing her father. He explains that her feelings are a manifestation of nature (Prakriti). The relationship with her father was a natural one, and nature has the right to function according to its own system. The pain and emotions she is experiencing are a part of that natural process, and their right to exist should not be taken away. When a close relative, from whose body one's own body has come, passes away, the pain that arises is a natural consequence of that relationship. He clarifies that Vedanta does not teach one to stop nature, but to go beyond it. Going beyond nature means that while nature continues its work, you continue to do your work in addition to it. He advises the questioner not to abandon her work as a practicing psychologist or other meaningful tasks. She should tell herself that the pain will remain in the background, and she must focus on what she has to do *with* the pain. The grief is a kind of payment for the life and relationship she has experienced. The question is not whether there is pain, but what else exists in her life besides the pain. He advises her to keep her life right, and with time, the pain will also diminish. Until then, she must continue to live her life correctly. Acharya Prashant further explains that the pain of loss is a consequence of a life philosophy centered on seeking happiness. He contrasts this with the life of revolutionaries who made a joke out of death. They were not afraid because their life was not about seeking pleasure. He mentions how revolutionaries, when about to be hanged, were found exercising or reading the Gita with the page folded for later reading, indicating their acceptance and fearlessness of death. He suggests that death should be made a part of everyday conversation, even a joke, so it doesn't come as a shock. He quotes Kabir Saheb, "Saathi manva dukh ki chinta kyu satati hai? Dukh to apna saathi hai" (O companion mind, why does the worry of sorrow trouble you? Sorrow is our own companion). The question is not whether there is sorrow, but what else you have besides sorrow. He concludes by saying that one should not expect sorrow to disappear suddenly; it is a part of the natural process and a consequence of one's life choices and relationships.
