Acharya Prashant explains that as long as the body exists, a sense of separation from the divine remains, and the body's true purpose is to serve as a reminder of this distance. He compares the body to a candle that finds its fulfillment in burning away to spread light. He distinguishes between 'Nirvana', which is liberation while in the body, and 'Mahaparinirvana', which is liberation upon leaving the body. He emphasizes that the body should be used like an offering in a sacrificial fire rather than being the focus of constant obsession. He notes that while the ignorant appear happy, those with deepening awareness often carry a visible sadness or gravity because they perceive the world's discord and their own limitations, though they possess inner bliss.
