Acharya Prashant addresses the question of nature's perceived cruelty by asserting that human beings are, in fact, nature itself. He explains that humans are a unique product of nature, through which nature itself seeks liberation, or Nirvana. The ego, or 'Ahankar', is not separate from nature but is one of its components. This ego, which is most prominent in humans, is the very element that is meant to transcend nature. This implies that nature itself desires to go beyond its own limitations through the medium of the human ego. The speaker clarifies that nature's journey is not purposeless. The falling of leaves, the blooming of flowers, and the movement of celestial bodies all serve a purpose. There is a desire within nature, a thirst that can be seen in the eyes of all beings. Nature is not cruel or insensitive; rather, humans can be unworthy representatives of nature's ultimate aspiration. Nature creates a human with the great hope that they will become a Krishna or a Buddha, an expectation it does not have from other creatures like giraffes or rabbits. Human birth is special because humans are the representatives of nature's deep-seated desire for freedom. The ego has a choice: to remain entangled with other elements of nature or to fulfill its designated purpose of liberation. The world and its experiences are not meant to trap us but to teach us and help us go beyond. If we get entangled, the fault is our own, not nature's. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of taking responsibility for one's own spiritual journey.
