Acharya Prashant explains that suffering is not an inherent part of existence but a human creation. He asserts that the desire for pleasure is the root cause of pain, as one cannot exist without the other. Using the analogy of writing, he notes that dark letters are only visible against a white background; similarly, the experience of happiness requires a prior state of distress or tension. When an individual desires success or peace, they are inherently declaring their current state as one of failure or restlessness, thereby inviting the opposite of what they seek.
