Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the perceived contradiction between nature binding an individual and nature desiring their liberation. He explains that while nature provides the physical body and initial sustenance like a mother, it also equips humans with unique tools such as intellect, consciousness, and understanding. These gifts are intended for the individual to transcend the physical limitations of nature. The feeling of being bound arises because individuals often choose to remain in the comfort and security of nature's lap, refusing to use their inherent capacities to move beyond worldly attachments. He emphasizes that nature respects human choice; if one chooses to remain attached to material things, nature allows it, even if it leads to a stagnant life. True maturity involves using the 'sword' of wisdom to conquer internal enemies like ego, attachment, and greed, rather than wasting it on trivial worldly pursuits. Regarding spiritual inclination, Acharya Prashant clarifies that no one is born with a special spiritual gift. Every human being is born with an inherent thirst for liberation, but they often seek to quench it in the wrong places, such as through wealth or sensory pleasures. Spiritual inclination is not a natural accident but a conscious choice to pay the price for truth and to work hard toward it. He defines spirituality not as a specific leaning toward a particular direction, but as the process of negating all inclinations and attachments, whether they are material or supposedly spiritual. Ultimately, the purpose of human birth is to use the gifts provided by nature to eventually surpass nature itself and achieve liberation.
