Acharya Prashant defines religion in its purest sense as the method to bring a restless and insecure mind to a state of peace and sanity. He argues that the current climate crisis is a direct consequence of the false treatments people apply to their internal restlessness. True religiosity involves an honest observation of one's inner climate. When an individual understands their internal sickness, they naturally develop dispassion and detachment toward the external consumption that causes environmental harm. Thus, the restoration of the outer environment is fundamentally linked to the revival of true religiosity and the betterment of the inner self through renunciation.
