Acharya Prashant begins by reciting a couplet from Kabir Saheb: "Everyone worships greatness (prabhuta), but no one worships the Lord (Prabhu). Kabir says, if you worship the Lord, greatness becomes your servant." He explains that these words are excellent for understanding the Lord, greatness, and their relationship. He states that certain ideas get stuck in the mind and must be removed. The Lord, or Prabhu, literally means 'that which is'—the one and only existence. Prabhu is not an object or a person. When one says Prabhu is not a person, it seems obvious, but then why call Him the creator? The moment you call Him a creator, you imply a separate existence from the creation, making Him a person, albeit a superior one. There is no creator, no magician (mayavi). It is a mistake to call Prabhu 'Brahman' and greatness (prabhuta) 'Maya'. Where there is only one existence, how can there be two? This distinction between Brahman and Maya, or Truth and its shadow, is an error. The fundamental mistake of humanity began the day this duality was created: that there is a God somewhere and everything else is His creation. There is no separate creation or creator. The mistake starts when Prabhu and prabhuta are considered separate. We see mountains and clouds but not their creator. The truth is, mountains and clouds were not created by anyone; they are not the greatness of the Lord, they *are* the Lord. To call them mere 'prabhuta' is a mistake. There is no need to reject Maya to attain Brahman, as they have no separate existence. One who sees Maya and Brahman as separate does not know Brahman. For the one who has known Brahman, Maya does not remain, as the knower of Brahman becomes Brahman itself. The very definition of Maya is to perceive anything as separate from God. Wherever you do not see the existence of the One, that is Maya. Maya has no existence of its own; it is a deception that appears real only as long as it is perceived. The one free from Maya is the one to whom Maya no longer appears. The idea of renouncing the world to find God is also a mistake because the one who still sees the world as separate cannot truly renounce it; he is still operating in duality. A religious person is not one who goes to a temple, but one who doesn't need to, because for him, every direction is a temple. He carries the temple with him. When everything is worthy of worship, worship is not a special act. As Kabir says, "My getting up and sitting is a circumambulation." When you separate Truth and the world, you create a separate prayer room, which is a trick of the mind. If Truth and the world are one, you cannot eat an animal when you see the Lord in its eyes. Truth and the world are not two.
