Acharya Prashant responds to a question about why spiritual concepts are so easily misinterpreted compared to scientific or philosophical ones. He explains that the core issue lies in the nature of proof in spirituality, which is purely subjective. While any concept relies on its proof, spirituality is about the ego, and its ultimate aim is to provide bliss. Whether one has attained this bliss is something that can only be claimed subjectively, and there is no way to objectively falsify this claim. This loophole is what frauds exploit. He illustrates this with an example: if he were to claim that pouring tea on one's head while chanting a nonsensical phrase brings bliss, a cult could form around this practice. If all the followers claim to experience this bliss, it becomes impossible to prove them wrong. The entire game is based on subjective experience. In contrast, fields like science have objective proofs. Spirituality is the only domain where the matter rests on subjective experience, which is why anyone can make unverifiable claims, such as having experienced ghosts, a claim that would not hold up in science. The speaker asserts that the problem in India is not a lack of spiritual knowledge but a lack of rationality. Without rationality, spiritual matters devolve into superstition. The speaker advises being extremely cautious of the word "experience" in spiritual contexts. When someone talks about mystical experiences or invites others to "experience a great peace," it is a sign of fraud. An experience can be induced by many factors, including hypnosis, intoxication, or fear. The feeling of peace at a guru's feet is often conditioned by pre-existing belief and faith. He identifies fear and its twin, greed, as the foundation of religious concepts like heaven and hell, which are used to enforce belief. Spirituality, he says, will truly begin when religious books based on belief are discarded and gurus who demand belief are driven away. Anyone who asks you to abandon your rationality is a dangerous criminal. The root of India's plight is not a lack of spiritual wealth but a lack of rationality, without which spiritual talk becomes superstition.
