Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who claims to be constantly troubled and distressed. He points out that the questioner is choosing to remember and dwell on his troubles even in a peaceful environment where such thoughts are unnecessary. He explains that suffering is not a compulsion or a physical reality like a wound, but rather a personal choice and a hobby. People often hold onto their misery as a matter of status or habit, much like an expensive addiction or a taste for spicy food. He asserts that there is no helplessness in existence; rather, humans have been given the dangerous gift of freedom, which they often use in self-destructive ways. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that everything an individual experiences, including their submission to others' pressure, is a result of their own choice. He dismisses the plea of helplessness as a lie, stating that one is the master of their own state of mind. Regarding the concept of 'loving the Master' (Sahib), he explains that the 'Master' is that which is not a 'servant.' Most people are currently 'servants'—those driven by ego and ignorance—and are attached to other servants. To reach the Master, one must first stop being attached to these servants. He suggests that if one cannot reach the Master directly, they should associate with the highest category of servant: one who clearly recognizes and admits their own servitude, rather than the inferior servant who falsely believes they are the Master.
