Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the Prajapatis mentioned in the Isopnishad represent the forces of nature, or Prakriti, which operate according to the laws of the Atman. He clarifies that one does not need to worship these forces but should understand them. He points out a paradox: the more one identifies with Prakriti (the body), the more violent and destructive one becomes toward nature. True protection of nature comes from those who do not identify themselves as being part of Prakriti.
