Acharya Prashant explains the statement, "Brahman grows by Tap," by clarifying that "Tap" here relates to desire. He states that desire is the attempt to make the impossible happen. Since Brahman is complete and cannot grow, take form, or be measured, any perceived growth is a mirage, a chimera, an effect of Maya (illusion). Desire itself is Maya, the power that makes the impossible appear to happen. This apparent growth of Brahman does not occur for Brahman itself, as it has no need, capacity, or obligation to change. Instead, this "growth" is the formless Brahman assuming a form, the complete becoming incomplete, which is the essence of desire. What one desires is ultimately not beneficial and makes one lesser, even though it is called "growth." The speaker describes the cycle of creation that originates from desire. The fundamental desire, or "Tap," is the force that causes the imperceptible, formless Brahman to assume tangible proportions. This process begins as a subtle vibration, a deviation from the center, which is the start of Maya. This subtle sensation then manifests as gross matter, referred to as "Annam" (food), from which all worlds and universes arise. These created worlds are described as webs of death. The desirous one, having spawned these universes, becomes caught within them. This leads to a struggle to break free from the very mortality he created. This struggle manifests as the desire for immortality, the longing to return to the formless, complete Brahman, thus completing the entire cycle. The whole process, from creation to the desire for liberation, is the movement of Maya. The speaker likens this to a spider that builds a web and then takes it back into itself. Since we are born into this world of action, we are condemned to desire. Therefore, the wise approach is to desire rightly, act rightly, and make the best of this situation. The first step in spirituality is to honestly acknowledge that this existence is not the ideal state it is often perceived to be.
