Acharya Prashant explains that the root of all human suffering is the deep-seated, false belief in one's own incompleteness and weakness. This internal sense of being 'small' or 'dependent' is what defines the ego's birth. Once this foundation is accepted as truth, no amount of external success or material progress can provide genuine security or happiness. He notes that while people readily accept physical illness, they stubbornly resist the idea of their inherent spiritual health. This resistance stems from the fear that if they were truly whole, their entire worldly identity and social structuresโoften built on shared weaknessesโwould collapse.
