Acharya Prashant interprets Bulleh Shah's teaching of reading a single 'Alif' to attain liberation. He explains that 'Alif' represents the first letter and symbolizes the source or the purest form of the Divine. Liberation is not found by wandering in the vast expansion of the world or by seeking solutions within that expansion, but by returning to the root from which everything originates. He uses the analogy of finding a mouse hole rather than chasing individual mice to illustrate that one must identify the source of their thoughts, fears, and illusions. When one realizes that the entire world and its entanglements arise from their own ego and confusion, liberation occurs. This liberation is synonymous with Truth and the Divine.
