Acharya Prashant explains that the ultimate source is characterized by absolute freedom, which includes the freedom to express itself or not to express itself. He notes that while human minds prefer to conceive of the ultimate as merciful, virtuous, and a remover of suffering, this creates a false duality. By attributing only goodness to God, man is forced to invent parallel authorities like Satan or Maya to account for pain and ignorance. Acharya Prashant argues that if the source is truly one, then it must be the origin of everything, including that which we perceive as negative or evil. He asserts that there is no separate source for suffering or catastrophes; the same source that provides grace is also responsible for sudden disasters and violence.
