Acharya Prashant emphasizes the extreme importance of having a personal relationship with the Source, whether one calls it Waheguru, Allah, Mother, or the Supreme Truth. He explains that without this connection, a person lives in an 'orphan-like' state, lacking inner support and stability. This relationship is not a mere concept but must be a living, personal bond that can take any form—friend, parent, lover, or even a formless presence—depending on one's temperament. He asserts that a true atheist is not someone who denies God's existence, but someone who lacks this vital relationship. He further describes the psychological consequences of being 'orphaned' from the Source, noting that such individuals often become fearful, cunning, or filled with envy because they feel they must rely solely on their own cleverness to survive. Comparing this state to a child separated from its mother, he suggests that the frantic pursuit of wealth and power by many is actually a manifestation of an inner void and a lack of belonging. Just as a leaf shines when connected to its source and withers when detached, a human being finds health, innocence, and radiance only through a deep, authentic connection with the Divine. He encourages individuals to define this relationship freely, even in unconventional ways, as long as the bond is real and direct.
