Acharya Prashant explains that being a Hindu means living in a state of preexisting, everlasting, and never exhausting completeness. Drawing from the essence of the Upanishads, he states that a person's true nature is not merely being a child of God, but being God himself. This realization of one's true nature leads to a harmonious relationship with all of existence, as a Hindu sees nothing but godliness in everything. He notes that this perspective is why Hindus can worship anything, from a rock to a flower, as everything represents the totality. Consequently, he argues that one who understands this cannot engage in violence or exploitation, such as using a butcher's knife or artificially inseminating animals. Furthermore, he describes being a Hindu as being totally surrendered to the total, which brings freedom from the inward burden of self-preservation. While one engages in daily activities, the internal understanding is that the final obligation for one's care rests with existence rather than the individual self. He compares this to a fish in the ocean or a plant in the soil, where sustenance is intrinsic and not a matter of personal worry or attachment to the idea of being responsible for one's own upkeep. This state of surrender allows one to live according to their true nature without the need to stock for tomorrow or feel small and contingent on worldly desires.
