Acharya Prashant explains that true forgiveness is not an isolated event or a reaction to being hurt, but a continuous state of mind where one becomes immune to being wounded. He emphasizes that the need for forgiveness only arises when there is a sense of separation and injury. If forgiveness is treated as a specific act, it implies that the ego was hurt and is now choosing to forgive. Instead, he suggests living in a state of constant forgiveness where external events, whether praise or criticism, do not disturb one's inner peace, much like a flame in a windless place described by Shri Krishna.
