Acharya Prashant explains that the word 'acceptance' has meanings on two different levels. The first level is dualistic, where acceptance and rejection coexist. This is the level of the mind, which operates by choosing one aspect of life over another from all available options. For instance, when something is accepted, something else is necessarily rejected. This level functions on the principle of good and bad, happiness and sorrow, things to be done and not to be done, and righteousness (dharma) versus unrighteousness (adharma). The second level of acceptance is where both acceptance and rejection are themselves accepted. On this level, while the mind's 'yes' and 'no' still exist, there is a deeper feeling of 'yes' towards both. There is something beyond the mind that is awakened, which is open to both the mind's acceptance and its rejection. This is the completeness embodied by Shri Krishna. He is a man free from guilt, whom you cannot shame because he is beyond the mind's judgments. He is sometimes a peace-lover, sometimes a warrior, and thus unpredictable. He is the entire orchestra, not just one instrument, encompassing everything—death and life, victory and defeat—and stands beyond it all, smiling. Acharya Prashant clarifies that true acceptance is not about inaction, surrendering, or closing the eyes of discretion. It is about understanding. It doesn't mean letting the status quo persist. If a situation needs to be changed, one must make a full effort to change it and then accept that effort. This is the real meaning of acceptance as demonstrated by Shri Krishna. Unlike the path of Buddha, which is 'neti-neti' (not this, not this), Krishna's path is inclusive, embracing 'this and that too'. The common mind might see Buddha as egoless but misunderstand Krishna as egoistic. However, Krishna is beyond all identities, accepting every aspect of life, including his own power and powerlessness, without being confined by any single definition.
