Acharya Prashant begins by addressing the question, "Who crosses over Maya (illusion)?" He explains that according to the sutras, the one who renounces the company of the illusory, serves the great souls (Mahanubhav), and becomes free from the sense of 'mine' (Nirmam) is the one who crosses over. He connects this teaching to Shri Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita, stating that all great scriptures are essentially the Gita, and their core message is one. He clarifies that Krishna doesn't have just one Gita; all elevated teachings are Gitas, and Krishna is present in all of them. The speaker elaborates on these conditions. Renouncing the company of the illusory means avoiding any association that further embeds one in Prakriti (the material world). Serving a great soul (Mahanubhav) is not about catering to their personal needs, as they have none. For a person trapped in worldly existence, a great soul is one who helps them break free. Serving them means aiding their mission of liberating others and, on a personal level, enduring the pain of having one's own ego challenged and dismantled in their presence. Bad company is anything that excites the ego and the sense of 'mine'. To be 'Nirmam' (free from the sense of 'mine') is crucial because one cannot cross over from a place to which one is attached. The one who crosses over seeks solitude (vivikta sthan), which internally means being free from the crowd of thoughts. Such a person goes beyond the three Gunas and even renounces 'yogakshem'—the desire to acquire new things and protect what has been acquired. The devotee, content in love, does not even care for this. Acharya Prashant describes the nature of this supreme love or devotion. It is inexpressible, like the taste of jaggery for a mute person. It is an experiential reality, free from qualities and desires, ever-increasing, uninterrupted, and subtler than the subtlest. To experience this love, one must become as subtle as the love itself; to experience the Self, one must become the Self, as the gross ego cannot grasp the subtle. Quoting Kabir Saheb, he illustrates the exclusivity of this love: "The line of vermilion is drawn, kohl cannot be applied. The beloved resides in the body and mind, where is the space for another?" This signifies that once the ultimate is embraced, there is no room for anything else. He further quotes Kabir, stating that devotion is not for the cowardly but a constant, 24-hour battle. It is not about external appearances like shaving one's head, but about purifying the mind of its impurities.
