Acharya Prashant explains that everything we see, experience, and hear does not happen to us just like that. If you pay close attention, you will see that nothing appears to you in vain or is experienced without reason. Any sound, touch, or thought does not reach you without a purpose. In all our experiences, we are searching for something. In fact, it is more accurate to say that because we are searching, we are having experiences. For an experience to occur, there must be a subject, which we are, and an object. Because we are searching, we wander from one object to another. If you have to search, you will search in some object—in this room, that room, in your pocket, or by asking someone else. To search, you need an object, and whichever object you go to becomes your experience. Putting your hand in your pocket will be one experience, going to the roof will be another, and entering a room will be a different one. Because we are searching, we are having experiences. At the foundation of all experiences lies a search. And all experiences are in this world. This means that at the very basis of the world, there is a search for what we need. You can call it the ultimate goal, Truth, peace, or even the Self or God. That is why it is called the 'Jagat Karta' (Creator of the world). This entire world exists for the sake of that search. The world is a continuous motion, a restlessness. All this restlessness is for the sake of finding peace. So, you can poetically say that peace is the doer of restlessness. In this sense, it is called the 'Jagat Karta,' the one who makes the world happen. It is not that it is doing it, but we are doing it for its sake. Since we are for it, all our actions are also for it. Therefore, it is called the 'Jagat Karta'. Everything in this world is in motion; nothing is stationary. That is why God is sometimes called the foundation of this world and sometimes its axis. The axis is stationary, and everything revolves around it. The feeling is that because of its existence, everything is revolving. The Upanishads say that those who use all their resources—mind, intellect, memory, strength, wealth, this human birth—to know 'That', become immortal. This means that one who lives life correctly becomes immortal. Immortality is not about not dying; it is about the thought of death disappearing. For us, death is a thought, an apprehension. One who lives the right life becomes immortal because they no longer have the time or space for the thought of death. Conversely, one who is living a wrong life is already dead. The one who lives rightly never dies, even at the moment of leaving the body. When a questioner asks about listening to the heart, Acharya Prashant clarifies that the heart does not think; the mind does. The thinking mind should be oriented towards the heart. The mind is what is deluded, and when it becomes resolved and peaceful, it is called the heart. The heart is the ultimate, purest end of the mind.
