Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a student's concern about introducing rationale to his family's religious practices, which are currently based on tradition and the habits of forefathers. He advises that the most honest and effective approach is not to dismiss religion, but to ask if one wants to be truly and purely religious. He explains that the highest objective of any religion, whether Islam, Hinduism, or Christianity, is the truth, or 'Haq'. Therefore, being religious must involve a total commitment to the truth and the courage to examine one's life to drop falseness, ignorance, and hollow rituals.
