Acharya Prashant explains that darkness itself is a cry for light. He suggests that the ego does not truly want to persist; if darkness were the ultimate truth, it would not feel restless or agonized. This restlessness is the very proof of light's existence. He observes that people voluntarily seek out spiritual wisdom like the Upanishads and the Gita, knowing well that it will destroy their old selves. This indicates a deep-seated desire within the ego to be liberated from its own suffering, even though it lacks the strength to end itself and thus invites an external force to intervene.
