Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why consciousness, originating from the complete Truth, appears incomplete. He begins by correcting the premise, stating that consciousness is not inherently incomplete; rather, it possesses the choice to be either complete or incomplete. In reality, Truth and consciousness are not two separate entities. Truth is non-dual (Advaita), meaning nothing else can exist apart from it. Therefore, the very phrase 'Truth and consciousness' is flawed as it implies a duality. Truth is singular and absolute. Ordinary consciousness, as we experience it, is the state that arises when Truth chooses the option to become incomplete or limited. This is described as a divine play or 'Leela'. Since Truth is alone, it can only play with itself. The game began with Truth fooling itself, playfully creating an illusion. Initially, even in this play, Truth remembered its real identity. However, to make the game more engaging, Truth chose to delve deeper into the illusion, to the point of forgetting its own nature. This state of forgetting is what constitutes the individual self. We are, in essence, Truth itself, which has voluntarily fooled itself and is now entangled in the game. We are the ones who have created our own bonds and entanglements, and now we question who is responsible for our predicament. The answer is that we ourselves are the cause. The role of spirituality (Adhyatma) is to act as a reminder, much like Jamvant reminded Hanuman of his forgotten powers. It helps us remember our true, forgotten identity. Since we are the ones who entered this dream-like state, we are also the only ones who can awaken from it. No one else can help because, in the absolute sense, no one else exists. The path to liberation is to realize our true identity as Truth, which in turn breaks the entire dream.
