Acharya Prashant explains that answering the question 'What is the meaning of God?' would be simple if one had a clean slate and had never heard the word before. However, this is not the case, as everyone's mind is overloaded with images and stories associated with the word 'God.' Therefore, before trying to understand what God is, it is more important to first understand what God is not. He uses the analogy of a dirty room that must be cleaned before anything new can be placed inside. Similarly, the mind must be cleared of all preconceived notions about God. These notions are a result of conditioning from childhood. People have various images of God: as an all-seeing entity, residing in temples or holy books, being powerful, loving, and also punishing. These images differ across cultures and religions. For instance, a Hindu's God is adorned with jewelry, a Muslim's God is formless, and a Jain's God is naked. These varied and often contradictory images are reinforced by mythological stories and media. The speaker states that the concept of God arises from human ignorance, fear, and desire. Ancient man, unable to comprehend powerful natural forces like lightning, eclipses, or floods, personified them as gods. The first deities, such as Varun (water), Agni (fire), and Indra (rain), were representations of these natural forces. Thus, God was born from a lack of scientific understanding and the fear of the unknown. The speaker asserts that God comes into existence wherever there is ignorance, fear, or desire in the human mind. He concludes that both the believer who says 'God exists' and the atheist who says 'God does not exist' are on the same level. Both are arguing about an imaginary concept, a product of the mind, without truly knowing what 'God' is. The atheist is merely refuting an image that the believer holds. Instead of asking about God, it is more crucial to inquire about the human mind. Since God is a product of the mind's ignorance, fear, and desire, understanding the mind is the first step. The real inquiry should be about the mind itself, not about the concept of God that arises from it.
