Acharya Prashant explains that Shri Krishna's insistence on Arjun fighting the war stems from his deep commitment to righteousness rather than any personal interest. He describes Shri Krishna as a person who cannot tolerate the victory of unrighteousness and uses every possible means to prevent Arjun from retreating. He suggests viewing Shri Krishna not as a distant deity but as a human being whose actions reflect a profound dedication to truth. This serves as a backdrop to understanding the nature of silence and its relationship with the ultimate truth, Brahman. Silence, according to Acharya Prashant, is not merely the absence of sound or words but the cessation of the mind's fluctuations. The mind's movement creates the illusion of the world, much like a dream feels real while one is dreaming. When the mind is still, the world and the ego disappear, leaving only the absolute truth, which is Brahman. He clarifies that silence is the foundation of all sounds; just as words can only be heard against a backdrop of silence, the world itself is rooted in truth. A truly awakened mind is one that perceives the underlying truth even while engaging with the world of forms and sounds. He further elaborates that silence is synonymous with deep joy, love, and connection. In any meaningful dialogue, silence holds more significance than words, as words are only useful if they lead one back to silence. He equates true love and the merging of the individual with the whole to a form of 'great death' or 'Mahamrityu,' where the ego is completely annihilated. This state of being is the ultimate silence. He concludes by noting that silence and peace are identical, and a person established in their inner truth remains silent even while speaking, as exemplified by the silent initiations of Ramana Maharshi.
