Acharya Prashant addresses the challenge of maintaining a quiescent mind when one feels hurt, insulted, or humiliated. He explains that humiliation is not an external object but an internal experience that depends entirely on the experiencer. One feels hurt because of a wrong identification with something fragile and prone to destruction. If a seeker were truly dedicated to their spiritual practice, they would not feel humiliated; instead, they would feel grateful that a false identification has been exposed and destroyed. The ego feels hurt because it bet on the 'wrong horse,' and when that horse loses, the ego suffers instead of feeling relieved to be free of a falsehood.
