Description

Acharya Prashant explains the concept of life's longing for itself by referencing Kahlil Gibran and the principles of Prakriti. He describes Prakriti as the force of nature that drives evolution through procreation and survival of the fittest. According to him, Prakriti is constantly selecting for survival, hoping that through the length of time, evolution will eventually produce a 'Superman' or a 'God-kid.' He argues that this plan is fundamentally flawed because the ultimate or the divine cannot be reached through temporal methods or biological evolution.
