Description

Acharya Prashant explains that social morality has become mistakenly conflated with religiosity, leading to an unhealthy obsession with sexuality. He points out that for many, sexuality—rather than consciousness or knowledge—has become the touchstone of morality. This results in a religious mind that is constantly preoccupied with sex, often through suppression, whereas true spirituality has very little to say about the subject. He notes that even Arjun, in the midst of war, displayed a body-centric orientation by worrying about the chastity of women, reflecting a self-centered sexual orientation rather than a spiritual one.
