Acharya Prashant addresses the question of how to deal with uncertainty by explaining that the problem is not that life is uncertain, but that we suffer because we try to find certainty where it cannot exist. This is an unrealistic expectation, as the world is a flowing mass, a flux, a stream of time where everything is constantly changing. Nothing remains the same even for a split second. To say something 'exists' implies a stability and continuity that is absent in the world, which is why we must realize and accept its transient nature. The desire for the uncertain to be certain and the changing to be unchangeable stems from the mind's fundamental need for security. The mind is designed to love security and seeks a point of no change. This is a genuine and profound need. We all want to find something that is true and permanent. When we fail to find this in the external world, which is full of apparitions that appear but are not real, we feel deceived and hurt. This experience of trusting something only to have it change and betray our trust is common to all human beings. All wisdom, the speaker states, is about coming to that which is fully secure, timeless, changeless, nameless, and formless. Total certainty can only be found there, not in the external world. A wise person understands the nature of the world (Prakriti) and stops harboring unrealistic expectations of permanence from it. They accept that everything in the world, from relationships to careers, is transient. The wise person stops trying to situate Truth or timelessness in the world, knowing it cannot survive without changing. By ceasing to depend on the world for certainty, one becomes deeply rooted and secure within. A strange transformation occurs: when you are totally secure within, you can become completely vulnerable on the outside. Uncertainties then become a source of joy. You are no longer in need of 'armors' and do not dread being hurt. You can face any situation, knowing that while you may be wounded, you won't be truly hurt because you are safely established within. The wise person becomes available to all of life's uncertainties and relishes them, like an accomplished tennis player ready for any shot. The solution is not to limit uncertainty, but to be secure within yourself.
