Acharya Prashant responds to a comment from a Muslim viewer who states that only the one Master (Allah) can be worshipped, and not any other deity. Acharya Prashant agrees with this sentiment, stating that his own teachings are not against the worship of one Master but aim to provide truth and depth to it. He explains that there is indeed only one Master who should be worshipped, and in Vedanta, this one and only Truth is referred to as the Self (Atma) or the Absolute (Brahman). The speaker elaborates that this one Master, the Atma, is attributeless (Nirgun). He clarifies that attributes (gunas) belong to nature (Prakriti). For instance, an object's color, shape, and weight are its attributes, which allow our senses and mind to perceive and value it. However, the Atma is attributeless and therefore cannot be conceived by the mind or described by speech. He questions how one can worship something that cannot even be thought of. The very act of worship, which is a mental process, inevitably turns the attributeless (Nirgun) into something with attributes (Sagun). Acharya Prashant further explains that the term 'Master' is relative to a 'servant'. Since the servant (the individual) is with attributes (Sagun), the Master, in relation to the servant, also becomes a concept with attributes. He points out that Vedanta goes even deeper, describing the ultimate reality as non-dual (Advaita), which is beyond even the concept of 'one', as numbers are a construct of the mind. The ultimate reality is also described as void (Shunya), which the mind cannot conceptualize. Therefore, the worship of the ultimate reality can only happen in silence, a silence so profound that the worshipper himself dissolves. He then discusses the role of symbols in the Sanatan tradition. The tradition holds that since the ultimate Truth is so beloved, anything that serves as a medium to it also becomes worthy of respect and worship (puja). This is the basis for the worship of various forms in nature, such as trees, animals, and rivers. Here, 'puja' signifies expressing reverence and humility, not mistaking the symbol for the ultimate Truth. The speaker notes that the mistake many followers of the Sanatan path make is forgetting this meaning and worshipping the medium as the destination. Conversely, the mistake in the view presented by the commenter is that by focusing solely on the destination (the one God), it may neglect the means to reach it, which are found within this world. One cannot reach the ultimate by disrespecting the world, as the ladder to the top must start from the bottom. True worship, therefore, requires knowledge (gyan) of the meaning behind all symbols and rituals.
