Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only the corrupt blood.
~ Kahil Gibran
Acharya Prashant: That is a surprise how in the movement of hurt we see only that which has been hurt and we totally ignore that which has been not and both are always there. That's the thing about humanness.
Never would come a time when a thorn would fail to prick you. Even your most impenetrable armors are vulnerable to be at least scratched by the impact of thorns and such things. Man will always be susceptible to hurt, always.
Prakriti wants you to react to stuff. Prakriti wants you to take care of your physical and psychological self. And taking care includes in Prakriti’s language getting hurt and reacting to hurt. As long as the body is there, there is bound to be at least a remnant, the faintest shadow of the psychological self as well. They are actually one, for the sake of discussion we may call them two. Whether one or two, What is certain is that they do get hurt. Prick a thorn the body bleeds, prick the ego and the mental body bleeds. So, that happens.
Why do we look at happening
