Acharya Prashant explains that the Bhagavad Gita is a philosophical document of the highest order rather than a mere story. Discussing the mystic poetess Laleshvari, he clarifies that her experience of oneness led her to a state of nothingness. This nothingness signifies being emptied of the 'millions' of worldly influences and fragments that typically compose the human mind. He describes the human condition as one of inner strife and fragmentation, where a multitude of disharmonious influences create conflict. Oneness with the divine, referred to as Shiva, allows the ego to forget these millions, leading to a state of internal peace and emptiness.
