Acharya Prashant addresses the difficulty of distinguishing between physical bodily requirements and the interference of the ego. He explains that the distinction is not something that is found, but something that must be actively created by the individual. Using the example of patients in a hospital, he notes that while two people may experience the same physical pain, one might let it consume their entire being, while the other maintains dignity and inner peace. This demonstrates that physical pain does not necessarily have to translate into existential suffering; the separation between the body's condition and one's internal state is a choice.
