Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies the common misconceptions surrounding Kabir Saheb’s use of terms like "Sati," "Pativrata," and "Par Naari." He explains that for Kabir Saheb, the term "Pativrata" does not refer to a woman’s devotion to a worldly husband, but rather to the soul's devotion to the only true Husband, the Divine. When Kabir Saheb says a "Pativrata" is good even if she is "dirty," he means that physical appearance or the state of the body is irrelevant as long as the mind is completely surrendered to the Truth. He emphasizes that in Kabir Saheb's vision, everyone's husband is that one Divine entity. The speaker further redefines "Par Naari," stating that "Par" signifies "otherness" or "alienation," and "Naari" represents "Prakriti" or the worldly nature. Thus, "Par Naari" refers to anything in the world that attracts an individual or creates a desire for possession. Acharya Prashant notes that this warning is addressed to anyone attracted to worldly objects, as the sense of "otherness" is the root of the problem. He shares an anecdote of a saint who explained that the sin lies in labeling someone as "other" or "alien," which creates a false division between "mine" and "thine." Acharya Prashant warns that worldly attachments, greed, and lust are like eating garlic; the resulting "foul smell" of one's inner state will inevitably manifest in every action and thought, making it impossible to hide from a realized soul. He also distinguishes between morality and spirituality, noting that while morality may value humility, spirituality is about transcending all self-identifications. He concludes by explaining that the term "deewana" in this context refers to a state of insanity or neurosis caused by worldly attachments, which eventually reveals itself through one's conduct.
