Acharya Prashant explores the nature of human lack and the search for fulfillment, suggesting that the search itself often creates the impression of a need. He argues that we are trained to search, and to justify this expenditure of energy, we convince ourselves that we are deficient. This imaginary sense of deprivation is what many call God. He posits that if one does not repress their natural intelligence, there is no need for an external God, as one's natural being is sufficient. He observes that religious visits are often driven by greed, fear, or insecurity, and questions how a foundation of deprivation can ever lead to fulfillment or peace.
