Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why people do not turn toward the truth despite being in a state of suffering, even though scriptures suggest that suffering is a medicine. He explains that humans are label makers who often refuse to call suffering by its true name. For instance, states like lust or anxious anticipation are inherently peaceless and painful, yet people label them as pleasure or hope, thereby avoiding the realization of their actual condition. Our inner states often correspond to beliefs rather than facts, leading us to ignore the reality of our suffering until it is too late.
