Acharya Prashant responds to a question about how suffering can be the door to truth. He begins by stating that the fundamental fact of life is suffering. He explains that if there were no suffering, scriptures like the Upanishads would not have been written. Philosophies like Samkhya Yoga talk about the 'Tapatraya' (three types of suffering), and Vedanta adopts this concept to address these sufferings. People seek liberation, which is liberation from suffering. Even the Buddha's first sutra is 'Sarvam Dukkham' (everything is suffering), meaning birth, life, old age, and death are all forms of suffering. The speaker elaborates that even though Buddha had no personal suffering and was living in comfort, he saw suffering all around him. He then refers to the Shiv Gita, which describes the immense suffering experienced in the womb, stating it is greater than the suffering in all hells. The womb is described as a dark, hot, and foul-smelling place where the fetus is completely helpless. This helplessness continues after birth; an infant is weak, dependent, and vulnerable. We often mislabel this weakness as 'tenderness' (komalta) when it is actually 'helplessness' (durbalta). We use language to give decorated names to suffering, thus hiding its true nature. Acharya Prashant further illustrates this by discussing love and marriage. He posits that the urgency for marriage often stems from the fear and doubt of being left alone, which is a great suffering. He gives an example of a love affair breaking up because one person cannot wait for the other, and within three months, they marry someone else, questioning the nature of such love. He says that life is suffering, but we don't see it because we have started calling false happiness 'happiness'. He quotes Kabir Saheb: "Jhoothe sukh ko sukh kahe, maanat hai man mod. Jagat chabena kaal ka, kuch mukh mein kuch godh." (You call false happiness as happiness, and your mind is pleased. The world is but a snack for Time, some in its mouth, some in its lap). He contrasts this with his reason for watching movies like 'Fukrey'—to understand the world. He found the film to be a realistic depiction of the tragedy of life, where the characters' foolishness is presented as comedy. He argues that true humor, or wit, is a high art form that requires deep understanding and intelligence, as seen in the works of writers like Harishankar Parsai and Shrilal Shukla. Their satire uses humor to reveal the suffering in life. In contrast, the laughter evoked by cheap comedy is hollow and only serves to degrade. Spirituality, he concludes, is about rising from this fallen laughter to a state of bliss (Anand), which is the highest form of happiness—unique, and without a cause or an end.
