Acharya Prashant explains that human suffering can be categorized into two types: unnecessary and necessary. Most human suffering is unnecessary and foolish, often stemming from ego or misguided beliefs that suffering itself leads to greatness. He clarifies that not everyone who suffers achieves spiritual elevation, and one should use modern science and medicine to alleviate physical pain rather than pretending it does not affect the self. He advises giving up unnecessary suffering entirely, as it serves no spiritual purpose.
