Acharya Prashant explains that questioning one's circumstances is futile because an individual's identity is inextricably linked to their life experiences. He uses the analogy of a thirsty person who wants their thirst to vanish while maintaining their identity as a thirsty person, noting that if the circumstances change, the person as they currently know themselves must also cease to exist. He emphasizes that the person complaining about their past twenty-five years is actually a product of those very years; if that history were altered, the current individual would not exist. Therefore, one has no right to ask why they were created in a certain way, especially since the power to even ask such questions is derived from that very creation and journey. Referring to the metaphor of the potter and the clay, Acharya Prashant asserts that while the creator forms everyone from the same lump of clay, what an individual does with their life is their own responsibility and freedom. He distinguishes between the internal and external worlds, stating that while joy and love are gifts from the divine, suffering and distress are one's own responsibility. He argues that the creator sends everyone at the highest point of potential, and any fall from that state is due to one's own interference. Complaining is unjustified because it achieves nothing and ignores the inherent value of the consciousness and physical form one has been granted. To illustrate the value of life, he shares a story of a man driven to suicide by his perceived poverty and misfortunes. A saint offers the man increasingly large sums of money—up to a crore—in exchange for his eyes. The man refuses, realizing that his body and the consciousness within it are priceless. Acharya Prashant concludes that the very consciousness used to lament one's fate is of immeasurable value. He suggests that instead of being filled with complaints that blind us to our blessings, we should recognize that the ability to discern right from wrong is a sign of the consciousness we have already received.
