Acharya Prashant addresses a question about the difference in remembering God during times of sorrow versus happiness. The questioner notes that her call to God during a recent period of deep, unexpected sorrow felt much more intense and different than her usual remembrance during happy times, making her question the nature of remembrance as described in Kabir Saheb's couplet, "Everyone remembers God in sorrow, but no one does in happiness." Acharya Prashant explains that this phenomenon is partly due to our bodily tendencies and partly our social training. We are conditioned to immediately stand against sorrow, viewing it as something wrong. An internal alarm of protest goes off, signaling that something is amiss. Conversely, when a moment of happiness arrives, we tend to lower our consciousness to indulge in it. We are so thirsty for bliss that we accept even fake happiness. If a doubt arises about the source or nature of this happiness, we suppress it, fearing that investigating it might deprive us of the pleasure. He illustrates this with an example of a friend, known to be broke and incompetent, suddenly throwing a lavish party. Instead of questioning the source of his wealth, people would rather join the celebration. This, he says, is our internal training: to lower our consciousness when there's a chance for happiness, lest we miss out on it. He further elaborates that it is not necessarily a good thing when a coincidence of happiness, entertainment, or pleasure occurs. A full investigation is needed. The goal is not to be against happiness, but to seek true happiness. We are so deprived of the real thing—bliss, truth—that we accept counterfeit versions. He compares this to a very thirsty person drinking dirty water, or a snake, which cannot digest milk, being forced to drink it on Nag Panchami because it has been kept thirsty. The snake is actually drinking water, as milk is mostly water, but it is the thirst that makes it drink something that could be fatal. Similarly, we are so thirsty for bliss that we accept counterfeit happiness, which is ultimately harmful. Acharya Prashant concludes by explaining that the path to true happiness, or bliss, is a negative one—it involves removing the veils. He refers to the Upanishadic concepts of 'Neti Neti' (not this, not this) and the five sheaths (Panchakosha) that cover the Atman. The process of spirituality is to unveil the Truth. The only meaningful question in life is about progressive improvement: "Am I a better person today than yesterday?" We are born to learn and become better. The ultimate culmination of this betterment is liberation (Mukti).
