Acharya Prashant explains that the world exists with the individual at its center, while Brahm serves as the underlying substratum or background. Brahm has no interest in macro-level participation; instead, the world is a manifestation of one's own tendencies and desires. He illustrates that just as a massive infrastructure is built for a small game, the entire cosmos is created by the mind to fulfill its small desires. The universe does not exist independently but is necessitated by the individual's 'nest' or ego. He emphasizes that it is desire that breeds the universe, and when the mind becomes weary of this creation, it seeks to return to the original, immutable source. He discusses two types of desire: the first brought us into existence, and the second leads us back to the truth. Since we already exist in a state of suffering, we must utilize the second kind of desire to act rightly and complete the cycle of life. Acharya Prashant clarifies that even if we do not consciously remember choosing to be born, the choice stems from deep, unconscious tendencies that pre-exist the physical body. He advises making the best of this 'bad situation' by practicing right desire, right action, and right thought, which eventually leads to a state where such efforts are no longer needed. Finally, he distinguishes between Brahm and Ishwar. He explains that Brahm does not create but manifests by dividing into the observer and the observed. The universe is subjective; every sentient being lives in its own cocoon of experience. While people often invent a creator (Ishwar) to justify the existence of the universe, Vedanta posits that if the universe is false, its creator must also be part of Maya. He concludes that Brahman is not the same as the conventional concept of God, as both God and creation are considered manifestations of Maya in the eyes of a knower of Brahman.
