Acharya Prashant explains the concept of the origin as described in the Tao Te Ching, distinguishing between mere modification and true origination. He notes that while forms in the universe constantly change—soil becoming a tree, then fruit, then body—this movement occurs within the same dimension and does not explain the primal cause. The origin is the changeless center behind the organized change of the universe, which the speaker identifies as 'Satya' in Vedanta and 'Tao' as the natural order or 'Rit'. He asserts that the mind's observation of birth and decay implies something inexpendable and inexhaustible behind it.
