Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the source, the material, and movement are all one. He emphasizes that the source of existence is not located elsewhere, and therefore, there is no need to search for a creator god or transform the material world into something sacred. He quotes Kabir Saheb and Dattatreya to illustrate that a true saint is one who has stopped chasing God because they realize God is not a distant entity to be reached through effort or sadhana. He argues that any teaching that encourages more activity or complex methods to reach the divine should be abandoned, as the essence of spiritual realization is the cessation of activity and the recognition of non-doership.
