Acharya Prashant explains that the primary commonality between human beings is not the soul, but the shared experience of pain and suffering. While the forms, stories, and contexts of pain may differ from person to person, the core experience of suffering remains identical. He describes human relationships as being fundamentally rooted in this shared pain. This suffering is shaped by an infinite chain of past circumstances and evolutionary history, which he refers to as 'Prarabdha' or destiny. He notes that our physical bodies carry the memory of this vast past, even if we do not consciously remember it. Our identification with the body and its limited age is a sign of ignorance, as our true history spans trillions of years of evolution.
