Acharya Prashant explains a verse from Japji Sahib, "Hukami hovani jia," which means all beings exist by His command. He defines a 'Jiva' (being) as that which perceives the world as the world. The existence of every being is solely by His will. The speaker clarifies that 'Jiva' is consciousness, and consciousness is that in which all duality arises. He distinguishes between 'knowing' (jaanna) and 'understanding' (bodh), stating that consciousness is about knowing, which involves a subject (the knower) and an object (the known). Wherever there is subjectivity, that is the Jiva, and the world is its object. The speaker further elaborates that the world is anything that can be known or contained within knowledge. Therefore, when one tries to create an image or concept of the Supreme, they are objectifying it and bringing it into the realm of their consciousness, which is a fundamental misunderstanding. All dualities, including the existence of the Jiva and the world, arise from the non-dual by its will. The very statement that duality exists is made from within duality, as only a Jiva can perceive the world. The entire world, including one's body and mind, is by His command. Acharya Prashant explains that true prayer is not about asking for things but about acknowledging that everything, including oneself, is a gift from the Supreme. The feeling of being a 'self-made man' is an illusion. He contrasts this with the common human tendency to always ask for more, even when everything has already been given. He states that everything great and vast comes from His command, while everything limited and small is a product of one's own efforts. The speaker concludes by differentiating between knowledge and understanding, and consciousness and awareness. He says that gratitude is not about receiving something from Him, but about realizing that one is always receiving. His grace is an unending flow; gratitude is what allows one to receive it.
