Acharya Prashant responds to a woman who, despite overcoming many hardships, feels deeply wounded by life. He explains that the body is inherently destined to experience wounds. If no external force inflicts them, the body's own destructive tendencies, present from birth, will cause them. Even with the utmost care, the body naturally decays and destroys itself. Therefore, it is not a significant matter whether one receives wounds at the age of 20, 40, or 80. Everything one gains or earns, whether mentally or physically, is subject to destruction. The speaker advises to get wounded for the right purpose and to keep moving forward. He admits that he has no remedy to avoid wounds, for if he did, he would have applied it to himself first. If the goal is to avoid wounds, then the question is being asked to the wrong person, as he does not know how to live a life free of injury, wounds, and pain. However, Acharya Prashant states that he does know how to remain steadfast amidst injury, wounds, and pain. He shares that he has an autoimmune disorder, where his own body is active against itself, creating wounds without any external cause. He uses this as a metaphor, stating that life itself is a wound and an autoimmune disorder; to be born is to suffer wounds. He humorously remarks that if this reality feels bad, one might as well ask why they were born in the first place. Since we are born, we must endure it, just as everyone does. The real joy is not in the cessation of this suffering but in finding peace alongside it. He redefines joy, saying, "Pain is joy. One who does not find joy in pain does not even know the 'A' of joy." For such a person, the alphabet of spirituality has not even begun. The speaker emphasizes that pain will persist, and the true celebration is to embrace this pain—this is joy. Pain's ploy is to divert you from your duty, from Dharma, and from righteous actions; one must not let this ploy succeed. Joy is not found in the absence of pain but in not being defeated by it. One cannot conquer pain, as no one ever has. The victory lies in not being defeated by it. He concludes by saying, "Let the heart break into a thousand pieces, but you must not break. This is joy."
