Acharya Prashant explains that the more certain you are of an objective reality, whether it's the sun, fire, a person, or an emotion, the more you are placing upon it the burden to be an equivalent of Truth. You are unnecessarily loading them with the responsibility to fulfill you. For instance, when a woman looks very real to you, you take her as an equivalent of Truth. When you are absorbed in that relationship, she appears so real that she seems to be everything, and you might even sing songs placing her alongside God. Whenever you do this, you burden the other person with the responsibility of being the Truth. However, she is just a woman and can never be the Truth. Your relationship will collapse under the weight of your expectations. You will want her to fulfill you, but she can never provide the kind of fulfillment that only the Truth can give. This same dynamic occurs when wives want their husbands to be supermen or when husbands expect their wives to bring bliss into their lives. The ultimate need is for spiritual fulfillment, which a spouse cannot provide. This misplaced expectation leads to the initial bliss fading away, leaving only suffering and the remnants of shattered expectations. Therefore, one should never take anything 'out there' too seriously, neither the fire nor the woman. Taking them seriously is preparing the ground for your own burial and setting yourself up to receive more wounds. What you really are and what you really want, which is the Truth, is not in front of the eyes but behind the eyes. It is that which powers the eyes to look at something. What is in front of you is a projected truth, an image of Truth. It is powered by Truth and is a game of Truth, but it is not the Truth itself. The limited can be a representative of the unlimited, but never the unlimited itself.
