Acharya Prashant explains that true forgiveness is not an isolated event or an action taken after being hurt, but a continuous state of mind where one becomes incapable of being wounded. He argues that the need for forgiveness only arises when there is a sense of injury; however, in a state of constant forgiveness, external events fail to disturb or touch the individual. He compares this to a lamp burning in a windless place, as described by Shri Krishna, where the internal state remains steady regardless of external circumstances.
