The following excerpt is from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Questioner (Q): Sir, sometimes, outside incidents become so pinching that I feel like running away. But then, again, everything goes alright. These ‘lows’ tremble me. How can the lows be stopped?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Stop the highs.
