Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether the path of Devotion or Knowledge is more suitable for the modern age by examining the fundamental state of the human mind. He explains that the mind remains restless and bound because it mistakenly believes that worldly objects, people, and resources can lead to ultimate truth or liberation. While the world is useful for physical survival and daily tasks, it is transient and cannot fulfill the soul's deepest longing for something eternal and reliable. He clarifies that the world is not a deception in a general sense, but it becomes a deception when one expects it to provide the ultimate purpose of life.
