Acharya Prashant explains the nature of the soul and the Divine through the metaphor of a lamp and its flame. He points out that while the wick, the oil, and the lamp itself are physical objects that can be touched and collected, the flame or light is that which makes everything visible but cannot be grasped. This light represents the Divine or the soul, which exists everywhere and makes the material world possible, yet remains intangible and weightless. He emphasizes that the relationship between the flame and the lamp is identical to the relationship between life-force and a human being, or the Divine and the universe. While bodies and lamps are diverse and subject to change, the light within them is singular and unchanging across time and space. He further clarifies the concept of rebirth, stating that it is the body or the lamp that comes and goes, while the soul or the light neither arrives nor departs. By identifying with the light rather than the physical form, a person transcends the limitations of time, centuries, and geography, achieving a state of immortality. Acharya Prashant notes that the light is omnipresent, even if it is not always visible, much like fire latent within stones. He concludes by explaining that for a person to be enlightened, they must come into contact with someone who is already 'lit' or spiritually awakened, as only light can ignite another light. He encourages a sense of fluidity and dissolution of the egoic mind, comparing it to how sugar and lemon must dissolve in water to create a refreshing drink.
