Acharya Prashant explains that the soul is essential for a life free from suffering within nature. He distinguishes between those who merely believe in God and those who seek the soul. Referring to the Bhagavad Gita, he defines prescribed duty as actions performed to achieve one's true destiny, which includes liberation, bliss, and clarity. He notes that anything preventing one from reaching this destiny is ignorance, characterized by staying in the wrong state and refusing to move toward the truth.
