Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the source, the material, and movement are all one, and that the source is not something to be found elsewhere. He emphasizes that the idea of a creator God or a separate source leads to unnecessary chasing and expectations. Using the words of Dattatreya and Kabir Saheb, he illustrates that a true saint is one who has stopped chasing God because they realize that God is already present in the 'here and now'. He argues that doership is an illusion and that true participation in life happens only when the ego's sense of being the 'doer' is removed. He clarifies that any teaching that encourages more activity or complex methods to reach the truth is misleading, as the truth is 'easier than the easy'.
