Acharya Prashant explains that the Kaurava side in the Mahabharata possessed immense diversity, skill, and knowledge, yet they lacked a connection with Shri Krishna. He emphasizes that Shri Krishna is present today through the Gita, which requires deep curiosity and intellectual engagement rather than mere ritualism. To be with Shri Krishna means to penetrate the meaning of every word and reach the root of the teachings. Using a metaphor from the Upanishads, he compares a human being separated from the Truth to an aquatic plant taken out of water; just as the plant loses its strength and structure without its natural element, a person loses their dignity, strength, and beauty when separated from the Divine. He asserts that if one's life lacks these qualities, it is proof of being disconnected from the Truth.
