When we hear "Prakriti," we usually think of trees, plants, rivers, mountains, and animals. But humans, with their thoughts, emotions, civilizations, and cultures, are also part of Prakriti. Both the world we see and the person seeing it, the 'I', are Prakriti.
Today, our unconscious desires and pleasure-seeking ways have harmed all of Prakriti—from the earth and sky to our mental health.
This makes us ask many questions. For example: What is the human mind searching for in Prakriti? Is nature just a never-ending source of resources for us to use? Why have we become so greedy and harmful towards Prakriti?
In this book, Acharya Prashant gives straightforward and practical answers to these questions. He quenches our curiosity and explains the relationship we should have with Prakriti. Acharya Ji explains that from the perspective of desire, Prakriti is an illusion (maya), but from the perspective of realization, Prakriti is the path to the Supreme.
