Is Life A Bliss? || Acharya Prashant

Be very very cautious of people who keep on saying the world is a great place, the world is a good place. Those who have known man and life have said, the world is a cage, the world is suffering. And then there are the positive types who keep saying,

“Oh, life is bliss.” Then surely Gautam the Buddha was a fool when he said, “Suram dukam life is suffering. If people are born free and great, then surely all the sages were idiots when they said life is bondage. Anybody who has not paid respect, genuine respect to self-knowledge does not deserve your respect. And if you will offer respect to such a person, be ready for surprises. Very nasty surprises.
