Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the purpose of life if happiness and sorrow are considered the same. He begins by correcting the questioner's premise, stating that when happiness and sorrow truly start to seem the same, the goal of life is not lost but has been found. The very aim of life is to reach that state of equanimity where one is undisturbed by dualities. The speaker challenges the notion that this is a simple, hypothetical state, daring the questioner to demonstrate this equanimity in the face of a real slap and a kiss, emphasizing that this is not a casual intellectual exercise but the ultimate capacity to be attained. The speaker explains that the goal of life is to develop an inner strength that neither breaks with a slap nor melts with a kiss. This is the true purpose. He further clarifies that the peace one might imagine from intellectually considering happiness and sorrow as equal is not true peace but a form of egoic consolation. It is the ego feeling proud of having grasped a spiritual concept, which is entirely different from the profound peace of Samadhi. This imagined peace stems from the ego's satisfaction, not from genuine transcendence. Addressing the question of why a liberated person continues to live, Acharya Prashant explains that such a person does not live with a personal motive or purpose; life simply happens through them. Just as they are not attached to forcing pleasure upon the body, they are also not attached to forcibly ending it. The body continues with its own momentum, and they let it be. As long as the body is alive, they use their time to help others achieve the same freedom, out of compassion born from their own experience of suffering and liberation. Their personal interest merges with the welfare of the world. Finally, Acharya Prashant asserts that the path of spirituality is for those with high intelligence. To transcend happiness and sorrow is not a matter of morality or being a 'good person,' but a matter of supreme intelligence and profound self-interest. One pursues this path not merely to be ethical, but because it is the wisest course of action for oneself. The liberated one lives without personal goals, and their very existence becomes a source of welfare for all, as they have erased the dividing line between themselves and others.
