Acharya Prashant responds to a question about how one can love God (Parmatma) when all knowledge about Him is borrowed from others. He states that in such a case, it is better not to engage in this love at all. When all of one's images of God are derived from others, the first task is to let go of these borrowed images. He uses Shri Krishna as an example, noting that people celebrate Janmashtami with great enthusiasm without truly knowing anything about Krishna, merely based on stories they have heard. The first step, he advises, is to stop this pretense. The speaker emphasizes the importance of honesty, stating that most people have no real connection to Krishna but perform a drama twice a year. He questions whether the Gita resonates in their minds or if their hearts are truly with Krishna, concluding that this is not the case. He criticizes the act of performing rituals, such as offering food to idols, as a form of lying and deception. The primary step towards truth is to admit one's ignorance and stop lying. One must first get free from this entire fake game of devotion. Acharya Prashant asserts that it is far better to be a true atheist than a false theist. Only after getting rid of all that is fake can one begin to know something authentic on their own, which is true theism. It is then that God, or Krishna, truly comes, but not in the form of the fabricated stories and images. When all these images are gone and one is honestly empty, the real God descends. God enters only those hearts that are clean and empty, not those filled with the dirty garbage of borrowed concepts. The speaker urges the audience to first clean out all this rubbish and honestly admit, "I do not know Ram." He points out the dishonesty in celebrating festivals like Diwali without knowing Ram, calling it a complete fraud. This dishonesty prevents one from ever truly knowing Ram. To awaken the 'I', one must have the courage to declare, "The whole world may celebrate Diwali, but I will not because I do not know Ram. And until I know, I will not celebrate." He observes that people lack this courage and are afraid of what society will think. Ram, he concludes, is for the courageous, not for the weak, cowardly, and social people who follow the crowd. Those who celebrate festivals like Diwali and Janmashtami are often the ones with no real connection to Ram or Krishna; for them, it is merely entertainment, not devotion.
