Acharya Prashant defines a miracle as anything that cannot occur in a predetermined, mechanical, or algorithmic way. He identifies love, consciousness, and understanding as true miracles because their origins are unknowable and they cannot be manufactured. He contrasts this with objects like cameras, which are not miracles. He further explains that the common understanding of respect is often rooted in power hierarchies and violence, whereas the true etymological meaning of respect is to 're-look' or to see clearly. He asserts that love is the only true form of respect and that love must involve seeing the truth of the other.
