# Either Go Completely Through the Pain, or Simply Disown the Pain | Rajan Chaudhary | On the Upanishads

Hello everyone,

Today, let us reflect on a profound idea through the wisdom of the **Upanishads**:

**Either go completely through the pain, or simply disown the pain.**

At first, this statement may sound contradictory.

If there is pain, how can we simply disown it?

And if we can disown it, why should we go through it?

To understand this, we must first ask a deeper question:

**Who is experiencing the pain?**

The Upanishadic approach repeatedly invites us toward self-inquiry.

We usually say,

*"I am hurt."*

*"I am suffering."*

*"I have been rejected."*

*"I have been betrayed."*

But rarely do we stop and ask:

**Who is this "I"?**

There is physical pain, and it should never be denied or neglected.

There is also emotional pain—the pain of rejection, humiliation, loneliness, failure, separation, or disappointed expectations.

When emotional pain comes, our usual response is to escape from it.

We distract ourselves.

We suppress it.

We blame someone.

We become busy.

We seek entertainment.

We tell ourselves that everything is fine.

But what happens to the pain?

It remains somewhere within us.

Suppressed pain does not necessarily disappear.

It may return as anger, resentment, fear, insecurity, or bitterness.

So there is another possibility:

**Go completely through the pain.**

What does that mean?

It means observing the pain without immediately running away from it.

If you are sad, recognize the sadness.

If you feel rejected, observe what rejection is doing inside you.

If your ego has been hurt, look directly at that hurt.

Don't immediately justify it.

Don't condemn it.

Don't decorate it with a story.

Simply observe.

When you observe deeply, something extraordinary may become visible.

Very often, the psychological suffering is not only in the event itself.

It is also in our attachment to what we expected the event to be.

Someone did not behave according to my expectation.

A relationship did not continue according to my desire.

My career did not develop according to my plan.

My image in the eyes of others was damaged.

And therefore, I suffer.

Now the Upanishadic inquiry takes us deeper.

**Am I only this image?**

Am I merely my achievements?

Am I merely my relationships?

Am I merely what other people think about me?

Am I merely the story I have created about myself?

If I am something deeper than these changing identities, then perhaps pain can be experienced without allowing it to define the whole of who I am.

And this brings us to the second part:

**Disown the pain.**

Disowning pain does not mean pretending that nothing happened.

It does not mean becoming insensitive.

It does not mean refusing medical, psychological, or practical help when it is needed.

It means refusing to convert an experience into your permanent identity.

There is a tremendous difference between saying,

**"There is pain within me,"**

and saying,

**"I am the pain."**

One creates observation.

The other creates identification.

The Upanishadic journey asks us to investigate whether the deepest Self—the **Atman**—is identical with every changing experience of the body and mind.

Thoughts come and go.

Emotions come and go.

Pleasure comes and goes.

Pain comes and goes.

Success comes and goes.

Failure comes and goes.

But is there something within us that is aware of all these changes?

This question is at the heart of self-inquiry.

So when pain comes, don't immediately run.

Look at it.

Understand it.

Experience what is actually there.

But do not unnecessarily build your entire identity around it.

You experienced betrayal.

But you are not betrayal.

You experienced failure.

But you are not failure.

You experienced rejection.

But you are not rejection.

An experience happened **to you**.

It does not necessarily define **you**.

This understanding can bring tremendous inner freedom.

We cannot demand a life in which pain never appears.

Loss, uncertainty, change, and disappointment are part of human existence.

But we can inquire into whether every painful experience must become psychological bo***ge.

So, either enter your pain consciously enough to understand its roots,

or become sufficiently aware to stop calling that pain your essential identity.

Do not remain halfway—

neither facing it completely,

nor releasing it completely.

Thank you, and always remember—

**Pain may visit your life, but you do not have to build your identity around it. Observe it, understand it, go through it consciously—and then ask the deepest Upanishadic question: Who is the one that suffers, and who is the one aware of that suffering?**

# Ego, Personality, and Individuality | Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, let us understand three words that are often confused with one another:

**Ego, personality, and individuality.**

At first, they may appear similar because all three are connected with our sense of self.

But they are very different.

Understanding these differences can completely change the way we see ourselves and others.

Let us begin with **personality**.

Personality is the way you generally think, behave, communicate, and respond to the world.

Someone may be quiet.

Someone may be expressive.

Someone may be serious.

Someone may be humorous.

Someone may naturally take the lead, while another person may prefer to observe before speaking.

These characteristics become part of our personality.

Personality is influenced by many things—our upbringing, experiences, education, environment, habits, and relationships.

And personality can evolve.

A shy person can develop communication skills.

An impatient person can become more patient.

A disorganized person can become disciplined.

Your personality influences how you express yourself, but it does not have to become a permanent limitation.

Now let us understand **individuality**.

Individuality is deeper.

It is your uniqueness as a human being.

Your experiences, abilities, values, interests, perspectives, strengths, and way of understanding life combine to make you different from everyone else.

Individuality does not say,

*"I am better than you."*

It says,

*"I am myself, and you are yourself."*

That is a very important difference.

When you understand your individuality, you do not need to copy everyone around you.

You can learn from others without becoming an imitation of them.

You can admire someone's success without wanting to become exactly like them.

Individuality creates authenticity.

Now comes **ego**.

Ego often begins when our sense of identity becomes dependent on comparison, superiority, recognition, or the need to protect a particular image of ourselves.

Ego says,

*"I must prove that I am better."*

*"People must respect my position."*

*"My opinion must be right."*

*"How could someone criticize me?"*

This is where ego becomes dangerous.

A strong individuality does not require superiority.

A healthy personality does not require constant attention.

But ego constantly wants validation.

Suppose someone disagrees with you.

Your personality may influence how you respond.

Your individuality allows you to maintain your own perspective.

But your ego may make you feel personally attacked.

Instead of discussing the idea, you begin defending yourself.

Instead of listening, you begin fighting.

That is why ego can become an obstacle to learning.

If I believe that admitting a mistake makes me weak, I will continue defending the wrong decision.

If I believe asking for help damages my image, I may remain ignorant.

If I believe another person's success reduces my importance, I may become jealous.

The ego constantly turns life into a competition.

Individuality does not need that competition.

A person who understands their individuality can say,

*"Someone else can be successful without making me unsuccessful."*

*"Someone else can be intelligent without making me foolish."*

*"Someone else can have a different opinion without becoming my enemy."*

That is inner maturity.

So, should we destroy our personality?

No.

Should we lose our individuality?

Absolutely not.

The goal is to become aware of the ego that unnecessarily attaches itself to both.

Develop your personality.

Improve your communication.

Strengthen your confidence.

Discover your talents.

Express your individuality.

But remain humble enough to learn.

You don't have to become like everyone else to belong.

And you don't have to become greater than everyone else to feel valuable.

Your worth does not depend on comparison.

There will always be someone richer.

Someone more famous.

Someone more talented in a particular field.

If your identity depends on being superior, you will never experience lasting peace.

But when your identity is rooted in self-awareness, values, and purpose, comparison begins to lose its power.

Remember this:

**Personality is how you express yourself. Individuality is what makes you uniquely yourself. Ego is what can make you unnecessarily defend, compare, and exaggerate that identity.**

Develop your personality.

Respect your individuality.

But remain conscious of your ego.

Because the strongest person is not the one who constantly proves who they are.

The strongest person knows who they are without needing to prove it to everyone.

Thank you, and always remember—

**Be unique without becoming arrogant. Be confident without becoming superior. Build a powerful personality, protect your individuality, but never allow your ego to become the master of your identity.**

# Ego and Attitude Among Youth | Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, I want to speak directly to young people about two powerful forces that can either build your future or quietly destroy your potential:

**Ego and attitude.**

Youth is a beautiful stage of life.

You have energy.

You have dreams.

You have ambition.

You want independence.

You want to create your own identity.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But somewhere between confidence and independence, **ego can enter without being noticed.**

And this is where we need to understand the difference between ego, attitude, and self-respect.

Self-respect says,

*"I know my value."*

Confidence says,

*"I believe I can do it."*

A positive attitude says,

*"I am willing to learn and improve."*

But ego says,

*"I already know everything."*

That small difference can completely change your future.

Today, information is available everywhere.

Young people can learn from the internet, social media, books, courses, and artificial intelligence.

That is a tremendous advantage.

But access to information should not create the illusion that experience has become unnecessary.

Knowing something and living through something are very different.

Sometimes, parents, teachers, mentors, or senior colleagues may advise you, and your immediate reaction may be,

*"They don't understand my generation."*

Perhaps sometimes they don't.

But that does not mean they have nothing to teach you.

Wisdom is the ability to listen even when you do not completely agree.

You don't have to accept every piece of advice.

Listen.

Think.

Question.

Understand.

Then make your decision.

That is maturity.

Another major challenge among young people is comparison.

Social media constantly shows us someone who appears richer, more successful, more attractive, or more popular.

Slowly, we begin building our identity around external validation.

How many followers do I have?

How many people liked my post?

Why is my friend earning more than me?

Why is someone younger than me already successful?

This comparison can feed the ego.

You begin trying to prove yourself instead of improving yourself.

Remember:

**You do not need to look successful. You need to become capable.**

There is a huge difference.

Real success is built quietly.

While others are seeking attention, develop your skills.

While others are arguing, learn.

While others are showing what they have, work on who you are becoming.

Your attitude toward failure is equally important.

When ego is strong, failure feels insulting.

You start blaming circumstances, teachers, colleagues, family, or luck.

But a growth-oriented attitude asks,

*"What can I learn from this?"*

That question can transform your life.

Failure does not make you smaller.

Refusing to learn from failure does.

And never confuse arrogance with confidence.

Confidence does not need to insult anyone.

A truly confident person can appreciate someone else's success.

They can admit,

*"I was wrong."*

They can say,

*"I don't know."*

They can ask for help.

It takes strength to do these things.

Young people also need to understand that attitude influences opportunities.

Talent may get you noticed.

But attitude often determines how far you go.

Organizations want skilled people, but they also value people who can listen, cooperate, take responsibility, accept feedback, and continue learning.

You may be extremely talented, but if nobody can work with you, your talent eventually becomes limited by your attitude.

So, what should young people develop?

Confidence without arrogance.

Ambition without unhealthy comparison.

Independence without disrespect.

Knowledge with humility.

And success with gratitude.

You don't have to make yourself smaller.

Dream big.

Speak confidently.

Challenge outdated ideas when necessary.

Build something new.

Take risks.

Become successful.

But while climbing higher, remain teachable.

Because the moment you believe you have nothing left to learn is often the moment your growth begins to stop.

Thank you, and always remember—

**Your ego wants to prove that you are better than others. A powerful attitude focuses on becoming better than you were yesterday. Choose growth over comparison, learning over arrogance, and character over appearance.**

# Effect of Repeated Failures on the Self | Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, let us talk about something almost every ambitious person experiences at some point in life:

**Repeated failure.**

One failure can disappoint you.

Two failures can frustrate you.

But when failure happens again and again, something deeper may begin to change.

You may stop questioning your strategy and start questioning **yourself**.

You no longer say,

*"My attempt failed."*

You begin saying,

*"I am a failure."*

And that is where the real danger begins.

There is a huge difference between **failing at something and becoming a failure in your own eyes.**

Failure is an event.

It is not your identity.

Suppose a student fails an examination repeatedly.

In the beginning, the student may think,

*"I need to prepare better."*

But after several unsuccessful attempts, the thought may become,

*"Maybe I am not intelligent enough."*

Similarly, an entrepreneur may experience several unsuccessful business attempts and eventually think,

*"Perhaps business is simply not for me."*

A person facing repeated rejection may start believing,

*"Maybe I am not good enough."*

Repeated failures can gradually affect self-confidence.

They can create fear before the next attempt has even begun.

And sometimes, they create something even more dangerous:

**The fear of trying again.**

We begin protecting ourselves from disappointment by reducing our expectations.

We stop dreaming.

We avoid opportunities.

We tell ourselves that we no longer care.

But deep inside, perhaps we still care—we are simply afraid of being hurt again.

So, what should we do?

First, separate **your identity from your results.**

If you failed, say,

*"This attempt did not work."*

Do not say,

*"I am useless."*

Your result tells you something about your preparation, strategy, circumstances, or performance.

It does not determine your entire worth as a human being.

Second, stop repeating the same approach and calling it persistence.

Persistence does not mean doing exactly the same thing again and again.

Real persistence includes **adaptation**.

Ask yourself:

What went wrong?

What did I underestimate?

Which skill am I missing?

What should I do differently next time?

Sometimes failure is not telling you to stop.

It is telling you to **change your method**.

Third, measure progress beyond the final result.

Perhaps you did not achieve your goal, but did you become more knowledgeable?

More disciplined?

More experienced?

More emotionally strong?

Sometimes the external result takes time, while internal growth has already begun.

And that growth matters.

Fourth, do not compare your difficult chapter with someone else's successful chapter.

You may see someone's achievement without seeing the years of rejection behind it.

Everyone has a different journey.

Comparison can make your failure feel heavier than it actually is.

Instead, compare yourself with who you were yesterday.

Are you learning?

Are you improving?

Are you becoming wiser?

Then you are moving forward.

But there is another important truth.

Not every goal must be pursued forever.

Wisdom also means knowing when to reconsider a direction.

Changing your strategy—or even choosing a different goal after careful reflection—is not necessarily giving up.

Sometimes maturity means understanding that your energy can create greater value somewhere else.

The purpose of failure is not to glorify suffering.

The purpose is to learn from reality.

Failure can either damage your self-image or deepen your self-understanding.

The difference lies in how you interpret it.

Do not ask only,

*"Why did I fail?"*

Ask,

*"What is this failure trying to teach me?"*

That question changes everything.

Repeated failure can make you bitter.

Or it can make you wiser.

It can destroy confidence.

Or it can remove false confidence and replace it with genuine competence.

It can become your excuse.

Or it can become your education.

The choice lies in how consciously you respond.

Thank you, and always remember—

**You may fail many times without becoming a failure. Your failures describe what happened; they do not define who you are. Learn, adapt, rebuild, and move forward with greater understanding.**

# Duryodhana's Mental State on the Mahabharata Battlefield | Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, let us understand a fascinating psychological moment from the Mahabharata—

**Duryodhana's mental state on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.**

At the beginning of the Bhagavad Gita, both armies are standing face to face.

On one side are the Pandavas.

On the other side stands the enormous Kaurava army.

Duryodhana has powerful warriors supporting him. Bhishma is there. Dronacharya is there. Karna is his great ally, although Karna is not yet fighting at this opening moment. Kripacharya, Ashwatthama, and many other great warriors are also on his side.

Numerically and militarily, Duryodhana has reasons to feel confident.

Yet something interesting happens.

When Duryodhana looks at the Pandava army, he does not simply see soldiers.

He sees a **threat**.

He approaches his teacher, Dronacharya, and draws his attention to the Pandava forces.

Why?

Because the mind does not always respond to reality as it is.

Very often, it responds according to what is happening **inside us**.

Duryodhana knows the history behind this battle.

He knows the abilities of the Pandavas.

He knows that Krishna is standing with them.

And somewhere within him, there appears to be tension beneath his outward confidence.

This gives us our first important lesson:

**Outer power does not guarantee inner security.**

You may have money.

You may have authority.

You may have influential people around you.

You may appear extremely confident.

But if your mind is disturbed, all these external advantages may fail to give you peace.

Duryodhana's situation also teaches us something about insecurity.

When insecurity enters the mind, we begin to focus excessively on the strength of our opponents.

Instead of asking,

*"How can I perform at my best?"*

we keep thinking,

*"What if the other person defeats me?"*

This happens in modern life as well.

A businessman becomes obsessed with competitors.

A student becomes nervous after seeing another student's preparation.

A professional becomes insecure about a colleague's success.

Slowly, attention moves away from our own responsibilities and toward fear and comparison.

Duryodhana also represents another dangerous condition of the human mind:

**knowing what is right but refusing to act accordingly.**

This is much deeper than ignorance.

An ignorant person can be taught.

But when ego, attachment, ambition, jealousy, or resentment becomes stronger than our understanding, knowledge alone may not change our behavior.

That is why education is not merely about knowing what is right.

Real education is developing the character to **do what is right**.

Duryodhana was surrounded by extraordinary people.

Bhishma had wisdom.

Drona had knowledge.

Vidura repeatedly offered wise counsel before the war.

Krishna himself attempted peace.

Yet Duryodhana remained committed to his position.

Why?

Because when ego becomes too powerful, advice can begin to sound like opposition.

We stop asking whether something is true.

We start asking whether it supports what we already want to believe.

And that is dangerous.

The battlefield of Kurukshetra, therefore, is not only a battlefield between two armies.

It can also be understood as a powerful reflection of the battles within the human mind.

Duty versus desire.

Wisdom versus ego.

Clarity versus attachment.

Justice versus personal ambition.

We may never stand on a battlefield like Kurukshetra, but we face smaller Kurukshetras every day.

Whenever anger tells us one thing and wisdom tells us another, there is a battle.

Whenever ego tells us to prove ourselves while conscience tells us to remain humble, there is a battle.

Whenever jealousy asks us to pull someone down while character asks us to improve ourselves, there is a battle.

And the most important victory is not always defeating someone outside us.

Sometimes, it is defeating the insecurity, arrogance, resentment, and fear within us.

So, when we study Duryodhana, we should not merely ask,

**"What was wrong with Duryodhana?"**

We should also ask,

**"Is there a little Duryodhana within me?"**

Do I reject good advice because of ego?

Do I become jealous of someone else's progress?

Do I know what is right but still choose what satisfies my immediate desires?

These questions turn an ancient story into a mirror for modern life.

Thank you, and always remember—

**A powerful army can win a battle, but only a disciplined and truthful mind can win the battle within. Before trying to conquer the world outside, learn to understand and conquer yourself.**

# Dream and Reality: How the Ego Builds Its False Foundation | By Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, let us explore a fascinating question:

**What is the relationship between dreams, reality, and the ego?**

Every human being has dreams.

We dream of success.

We dream of happiness.

We dream of recognition.

We dream of becoming someone important.

Dreams are beautiful because they inspire us to grow. They give direction to our lives and motivate us to move forward.

But there is something we must be careful about.

Sometimes, our dreams are guided by purpose.

At other times, they are driven by the ego.

And there is a big difference between the two.

A dream guided by purpose asks,

**"How can I contribute to the world?"**

A dream guided by ego asks,

**"How can I prove that I am better than everyone else?"**

The ego constantly seeks comparison.

It wants applause.

It wants attention.

It wants recognition.

It builds an image of who it wants the world to believe we are.

Slowly, that image becomes a false foundation.

Instead of living authentically, we begin living to protect an identity.

We become afraid of failure because failure threatens our image.

We become afraid of criticism because criticism challenges our ego.

We compare ourselves with others because our self-worth depends on external approval.

This is where suffering begins.

Reality is very different.

Reality does not care about our image.

Reality responds to our actions, our character, our effort, and our integrity.

You can pretend to be successful for a while.

But real success comes from genuine competence.

You can pretend to be wise.

But true wisdom is reflected in your decisions.

You can seek admiration.

But lasting respect is earned through honesty and humility.

The ego builds its foundation on appearances.

Reality builds its foundation on truth.

Another danger of the ego is that it constantly says,

*"I already know."*

When we believe we know everything, we stop learning.

Growth comes to an end.

A humble mind remains curious.

It is willing to ask questions.

It is willing to admit mistakes.

It is willing to improve.

That is why humility is one of the greatest strengths a person can develop.

Dreams themselves are not the problem.

In fact, dreams are essential.

Without dreams, there is no vision.

Without vision, there is no progress.

The important question is,

**Why do you have that dream?**

Is it to serve?

To create value?

To solve problems?

To improve lives?

Or is it only to satisfy your ego?

When your dreams are connected to purpose, success becomes meaningful.

When they are connected only to ego, even success often feels empty.

So, continue dreaming.

Dream boldly.

Dream fearlessly.

But let your dreams be rooted in reality.

Develop your skills.

Work consistently.

Accept feedback.

Learn from failure.

Stay humble.

And never allow your identity to depend on the opinions of others.

Because your true worth is not determined by applause.

It is determined by your character.

Remember this:

The ego builds castles in the imagination.

Reality builds strong foundations through discipline, truth, and action.

Choose purpose over pride.

Choose growth over comparison.

Choose authenticity over appearance.

And your dreams will become more than fantasies—they will become your reality.

Thank you, and always remember—

**Dreams give direction, but reality demands action. The ego builds a false foundation on praise and comparison, while true success is built on humility, character, and consistent effort. Build your life on truth, and your dreams will stand the test of time.**

# Don't Discard Opinions, Discard the Opinionated Mind | By Rajan Chaudhary (Motivational Speaker)

Hello everyone,

Today, let us reflect on a statement that may sound unusual at first:

**"Don't discard opinions, discard the opinionated mind."**

What does it really mean?

Every one of us has opinions.

We have opinions about people, politics, business, education, relationships, success, and even spirituality.

Having opinions is natural.

They help us make decisions and understand the world around us.

The problem is not with opinions.

The problem begins when we become **opinionated**.

An opinion is a point of view.

An opinionated mind believes that its point of view is the **only** correct one.

That is where conflict begins.

Think about it.

Have you ever met someone who refuses to listen?

No matter what evidence you present, they have already made up their mind.

They interrupt others.

They reject different perspectives.

They believe that changing their opinion is a sign of weakness.

This is not confidence.

It is rigidity.

A wise person understands that knowledge is always growing.

New experiences teach us.

New discoveries expand our thinking.

Different people see life from different perspectives because they have lived different lives.

That is why listening is just as important as speaking.

Listening does not mean agreeing with everyone.

It means respecting the possibility that someone else may know something you do not.

Imagine two people looking at a mountain from opposite sides.

One sees a waterfall.

The other sees a forest.

Neither person is lying.

They are simply seeing different parts of the same mountain.

Life is often like that.

Our experiences shape our perspectives.

Instead of asking,

*"Who is right?"*

Sometimes it is wiser to ask,

*"What can I learn from this perspective?"*

Another danger of an opinionated mind is that it stops learning.

The moment we believe we already know everything, our growth comes to an end.

Curiosity disappears.

Humility disappears.

Wisdom disappears.

Great thinkers throughout history were willing to question their own beliefs.

They changed their minds when they discovered better evidence or deeper understanding.

Changing your opinion after learning something new is not weakness.

It is a sign of intellectual honesty and maturity.

This principle also improves our relationships.

Many arguments continue because both people want to win.

Very few people want to understand.

When understanding becomes more important than winning, conversations become more meaningful.

Respect grows.

Trust grows.

Solutions become easier to find.

This does not mean you should abandon your values.

Stand firmly for truth, honesty, kindness, and justice.

But remain open enough to examine your assumptions.

Ask questions.

Seek evidence.

Listen carefully.

Think deeply.

And never stop learning.

Remember this:

A closed mind protects its opinions.

An open mind pursues the truth.

The goal of life is not to prove that we are always right.

The goal is to become wiser every day.

So, keep your opinions.

But never let your opinions become a prison for your mind.

Allow them to evolve as your understanding grows.

Because growth begins the moment we become willing to learn from others.

Thank you, and always remember—

**Opinions help us think, but an opinionated mind stops us from growing. Keep your values, keep your curiosity, and always remain humble enough to learn. True wisdom belongs to those who seek truth, not those who simply defend their own opinions.**
