Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the soul is essential for living a life free from suffering and the traps of nature. He distinguishes between those who merely believe in a deity and those who move toward the soul, emphasizing that true religion focuses solely on the soul. Referencing the Bhagavad Gita, specifically chapter four, verse eleven, he highlights Shri Krishna's teaching that the Divine responds to an individual in the exact manner they approach Him. This implies that what one receives in life is a direct reflection of their own eligibility and internal state. If one perceives life as disrespectful or illusory, it is because they have disrespected the truth or held onto delusions. Acharya Prashant asserts that individuals are entirely free and responsible for their own reality; if one says 'yes' to Shri Krishna, the Divine says 'yes' in return. He defines 'Krishna' as everything that is beautiful, peaceful, and lovable, such as love, sweetness, and satisfaction. If these qualities are missing from one's life, it is because the individual has closed their own doors and chosen to remain small. He concludes that one should not blame the Divine for a lack of grace when they themselves are the ones refusing to open the door to the infinite.
