Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the statement from Vivek Choodamani, where Shri Krishna declares that He does not abide in beings nor do beings abide in Him, must be understood as a single truth regarding the human condition. He clarifies that Shri Krishna acts as a mirror to one's own state; what one receives from life and the truth depends entirely on how one relates to it. If a person identifies strongly with their limited physical and mental identity as a 'being' or 'person', they have effectively declared their separation from the divine. Shri Krishna respects this human freedom and does not force a union where the individual chooses to remain distant and defined by their ego.
