Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of being sensitive to insults by explaining that feeling hurt is a natural human response for those who have not yet reached the state of enlightenment. He contrasts humans with stones and animals, noting that while animals only react to physical pain, humans possess a consciousness that can be wounded. He argues that living a life far below one's infinite potential is the greatest insult, and external insults often serve as a reminder of this internal reality.
