Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the Prajapatis mentioned in the Isha Upanishad represent the forces of nature or Prakriti. He clarifies that these cosmic powers operate according to the laws of the Atman, meaning physical nature functions as per the dictates of the divine. He advises that one does not need to worship these forces but should understand them. He emphasizes that identification with Prakriti leads to violence against it; only by staying clear of such identification can one truly help or preserve nature.
