Acharya Prashant explains the relationship between man and the Supreme (Parmatma), stating that the Supreme has no relationship with us, but we have a significant one with it. He clarifies that the Supreme has no concern, duty, or responsibility towards humanity. Everything, including the need for a connection, originates from our side. We are the ones in need, and we must take full responsibility for our actions and state of being. We cannot rely on the Supreme to intervene or solve our problems, as it has already done what it needed to do, which is nothing. We are the ones who have created our own mess, and it is our responsibility to clean it up. The speaker emphasizes that if we live in illusion, it is our own state that is spoiled, not the Supreme's. Even upon reaching the ultimate destination, nothing is added to or subtracted from the Supreme; it is we who must merge into it. While getting rid of illusions is a starting point, one cannot eliminate everything without also eliminating the 'one' who is trying to get rid of things—the ego. The final and most difficult task is to remove oneself from the seat of the ego. Acharya Prashant dismisses romanticized spiritual concepts, such as a person not feeling separate from others, as forced fantasies and spiritual blabber. He asserts that the division between individuals is a physical reality, as our bodies are separate. He urges the listener to begin from the factual reality of their current, divided state rather than indulging in such fantasies. He highlights the contradiction in worrying about being cheated by others while entertaining notions of indivisibility, pointing out that the harm inflicted by others is insignificant compared to the harm we inflict upon ourselves by remembering it. Ultimately, the speaker advises to 'walk on,' as life is meant for better things than dwelling on petty issues. He explains that we have a choice in what we remember and forget, as memory is not an automatic process. The Truth is described as unbreakable and whole (Akhand). Therefore, if something in our life breaks, it likely deserved to be broken, and we should consider it 'good riddance.'
