Acharya Prashant discusses the profound relationship between enlightened beings and nature, citing examples like Mahavira, Buddha, and Saint Francis of Assisi. He explains that these figures do not possess magical powers to control animals or plants; rather, they exist in a state of harmony and non-interference. Nature is in a constant state of celebration or a 'dance,' and while humans often disrupt this flow with their ego and desire for control, a realized person simply joins the existing rhythm. He emphasizes that nature does not need to be given anything special; it only requires that its freedom not be snatched away. This state of allowing others to be free is defined as true love. The speaker further explores the concept of human ego and its role in creating a sense of superiority over the ecological pyramid. He argues that this ego prevents humans from experiencing the inherent music of existence. Unlike humans, whose happiness is often conditional and based on personal gain, nature's joy is unconditional and 'absolute.' Even in the face of death or destruction, the 'party' of nature continues because death is an integral part of life's ceremony. Acharya Prashant suggests that to truly connect with nature or an animal, one must drop the sense of being 'higher' or 'superior.' Finally, he clarifies that figures like Shri Krishna do not create a new joy but simply refuse to disturb the natural bliss already present in the world. He uses the metaphor of a party with 'free entry' to describe existence, where humans struggle to earn an entry pass that is already theirs. The essence of spiritual living, according to the speaker, is to move through the world with such gentleness and lack of ego that one becomes one with what is happening, rather than trying to force an impact or seeking special recognition.
