Acharya Prashant explains that anything that exists differently as thoughts among different people is merely a belief. He notes that people often turn to God out of fear or in times of danger, such as before a difficult exam or when facing death. He distinguishes between God and truth, stating that God is a concept with many stories and variations across religions, whereas truth is not a concept and cannot be described in stories. Truth is invariable, timeless, and transcends both objectivity and subjectivity. It is something that turns a person silent rather than leading to endless discussion. He further elaborates that the only thing that cannot be a superstition is the presence of the inquirer who asks, "What is the truth?" Everything else, including sensory perceptions and mental interpretations, is tentative. Acharya Prashant points out that senses can be easily deceived and the mind provides meaning to facts based on a million years of conditioning. He demonstrates this by explaining how different people can hear the same words but interpret them in vastly different and even imaginary ways, proving that the mind cannot be fully trusted to deliver objective truth. Finally, Acharya Prashant advises against the need for trust or belief, as trust often implies a lazy settlement or a false sense of security. He suggests that instead of approaching life with trust or distrust, one should approach it with awareness and open eyes. To trust or distrust something prevents a person from truly knowing it. He encourages understanding and inquiry over the comfort of belief, asserting that a person is strong enough to live without the support of blind trust.
