Acharya Prashant explains that the search for God is often the very barrier that prevents one from finding Him. He uses the analogy of two people trying to meet at a specific location; if both are constantly moving to search for the other, they will never meet. He emphasizes that God is absolute and omnipresent, meaning that any effort from the ego to 'find' Him assumes He is currently lost or absent. This assumption of separation is a fundamental mistake. Instead of searching for God as an object, a true seeker should investigate why they are unable to see the obvious and omnipresent reality that is already here. This process involves exposing the ego's prejudices and deceptions, which can be a humiliating and uncomfortable experience that often leads people to 'slip' or run away from the truth.
