Acharya Prashant explains that the mood of a sage can vary between wanting to leave the world for the Divine and finding the Divine right here in the present moment. He emphasizes that there is no morality in these shifts; it is simply the play of life, or Leela. Through a story about a man building a temple of truth, he illustrates that truth is not an abstract concept to be worshipped from afar, but something that manifests in the material world and hard work. The man who makes Truth work alongside him is described as Truth's real friend, whereas the priest who wants to offer formal worship is seen as missing the point. For a human being, truth must be found in the material and the immediate, rather than in verses or abstractions.
