Acharya Prashant explains that the Gita can only come from someone who understands the world. If one understands the world, one cannot keep failing in it. He questions how the Gita can come from someone who is proven to be an idiot every morning and evening, or how such a person could even understand it. If a person is a joker, a clown, an idiot, or a loser in this worldâin their relationships, school, college, or at their workstationâthey have no business touching the Gita. The Upanishads come from winners of the highest order, and to understand them, there must be a oneness between the person and the text. He asks how one can understand the Gita if they have nothing in common with Shri Krishna. The speaker contrasts Shri Krishna, who brought victory when defeat seemed probable, with a person who snatches defeat even when victory is assured. He dismisses the excuse of not being interested in the world, stating that such a person is actually marginalized, the "rubbish of the world," and, according to Darwin, unfit to survive. He points out that many people are physically unfit, constantly groaning and complaining, while the spiritual masters they admire were physically fit. This is what he calls "full embrace," as a half embrace is no embrace. The man of God is a winner in the world as well; this is the full embrace. Acharya Prashant asserts that God and the world are one; it is the "God-world." If a person is a loser in the world, they do not know God. He observes that every living being, from a cuckoo to an ant, is an expert and a master in its particular field. He asks the listener what their expertise is. The Self, the Heart, the God within, is the climax of perfection. He concludes by stating that if God is perfection, one must at least have excellence. If a person lacks even excellence, he questions what their proximity to God could be.
