Acharya Prashant clarifies that death is not a distant event or a destination to be reached through a medium; rather, our current existence is itself a form of death. He explains that we are already living like the dead in a cremation ground, yet we mistakenly label this state as 'life.' The role of a Guru is not to bring death to a person or to lead them to it, but to remove the illusion that death is far away. While no medium is required to reach death since we are already in its grip, a medium is essential to transcend death and reach immortality. The Guru acts as a ladder connecting the state of the 'living dead' to the realm of truth inhabited by figures like Shri Krishna, Kabir Saheb, and Christ.
