Acharya Prashant explains that a human being is covered by two layers of suffering: the biological layer of the body and the social layer of the mind. Coming into nature allows an individual to forget social conditioning, thereby shedding the social layer and moving closer to their core. While nature is not the ultimate Truth or God, being close to nature is a step toward the center because nature is the first circle surrounding the heart. He notes that animals are closer to nature and God because they lack social conditioning, yet they are also limited because they cannot transcend their biological instincts to reach the ultimate Truth. Humans, however, have the potential to either fall below animals through social corruption or transcend both layers to become enlightened like a Buddha. Acharya Prashant further discusses the relationship between life and death, stating that death is not the opposite of life but its completion. He criticizes the social tendency to fear death and cling to life, arguing that true living requires the constant remembrance of death. To remember death is to recognize that everything given by time—objects, thoughts, and relationships—will eventually be taken away by time. One who accepts this reality achieves peace and liberation while still alive. He emphasizes that peace is not something attained after death; rather, it must be realized in the present moment by understanding the transient nature of the world.
