Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that spirituality led to India's historical enslavement. He argues that India was conquered not because its people were spiritual, but precisely because they lacked true spirituality. He defines spirituality as common sense and the fundamental inquiry into the nature of the world and the self. A truly spiritual person understands that the material world and the body are not of ultimate importance. This realization weakens the fear of death, making a spiritual person impossible to defeat. While such a person avoids unnecessary conflict, they fight with absolute resolve when necessary, as seen in the Bhagavad Gita.
