Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the fundamental spiritual question regarding the right relationship between consciousness and nature, referred to as Purush and Prakriti. He explains that Prakriti encompasses everything that can be perceived, experienced, or imagined, including the human body and its animalistic systems. Since consciousness is wedded to the body, one cannot run away from nature or fight it, as even basic functions like breathing are inherent to it. He notes that attempting to oppose nature is futile because nature, often called Maya, is inescapable and all-encompassing in the physical realm.
