Acharya Prashant explains the distinction between the absolute truth and our current physical reality. He notes that while scriptures like the Upanishads declare the soul to be solitary and pure, humans living on earth are inherently dependent on others. He emphasizes that while it is essential to hear the ultimate truth to understand that our dependence is not our true nature, we must not arrogantly claim to be established in that truth while still being bound by physical and mental needs. He describes the human condition as being caught between the 'sky' of absolute truth, which demands oneness, and the 'earth' of physical existence, which demands duality and companionship.
