Acharya Prashant provides a specific formula for overcoming deep hatred toward another person. He suggests that one should set aside their ego and hatred temporarily to engage in a conversation with that person for an hour. He explains that hatred is often maintained by breaking contact and avoiding the other person, which allows one to rely on imagination rather than reality. By refusing to see or speak to someone, an individual preserves their own internal animosity. Acharya Prashant asserts that if you actually stand before the person you hate and communicate openly, the hatred will inevitably fall away. He describes the instinct to avoid others as a dirty, self-destructive tendency. The ultimate remedy for hatred is direct interaction and emotional vulnerability, where both parties might even share their pain and cry together.
