There is a desire that gives birth to the worlds and then there is a desire that gets fed up with the worlds and returns to the pure, the original, the immutable. You have already come to a long distance, cannot undo the journey, you cannot un-travel the distance, what do you do then? Complete the cycle. Have the right desire that stimulates you into the right action. The right work, the right action that will lead you into immortality, that’s what you need to do now.

Acharya Prashant: Brahman grows by tapa, what does that mean? Tapa here relates to desire. Desire. Desire is making the impossible happen. The impossible cannot happen. So, obviously, that which is happening is a mirage a chimera. Brahman cannot grow, Brahman cannot take shape, Brahman cannot take shape, cannot expand, take forms or names, move from one thing to the other, become measurable, not possible. But desire is Māyā. Māyā is making the impossible happen. For whom? We come back to our favorite question. For Whom? Whom does Brahman grow? For itself? Not at all.
Brahman has no need, no capacity, no limit, no obligation to look back at itself to reflect on itself. Brahman does not indulge in anything, let alone these kinds of fragmentations. But Brahman grows, what does growth mean here? Growth means that formless assumes a form. The complete becomes incomplete.
