Acharya Prashant clarifies the meaning of the term "imageless." He explains that being imageless does not mean that it can have no image. Rather, its meaning should be taken as it having no *specific* image. It is not that it has no image; it has no special, particular image. Every image is its image, and that is why it is not appropriate to confine it to any one image. The speaker cautions against the process of negating images, describing it as a violent process. While it may lead to nothingness or blankness in the end, the violence endured until then is unnecessary. Instead of cutting, one should see the divine in everything. He refers to this as the path of love, which says, "Wherever I look, there You are." This means seeing the divine in all elements—fire, wood, brick, sand—and even in dreams. The divine is the element pervading all elements. This path of love means seeing the divine in everything, including anger, mud, ignorance, desire, and jealousy. The speaker illustrates this with a story of a Sufi saint who, upon catching a thief, recognizes the divine in him. He also references the story of Namdev, who saw the Lord in the guise of a dog that took his bread. The idea is to stop negating and instead befriend imagination, seeing the divine in every form it takes. The divine is the ultimate actor, a trickster (chaliya), a shape-shifter (bahurupiya), who appears in countless forms. Therefore, one should see the divine in everything, whether it's a good time or a bad time, and recognize that everything is a manifestation of the one reality.
