Description

Acharya Prashant discusses the distinctions of intellect according to the Gunas as described by Shri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. He explains that a Sattvic intellect understands the paths of work, renunciation, right and wrong action, and liberation. In contrast, Rajasic and Tamsic intellects suffer from distorted or perverted perceptions of duty and reality. He critiques 'pop spirituality' for claiming that there is no right or wrong, arguing that such claims are often used to defend the ego and avoid the reality of suffering. He asserts that as long as one is prone to suffering and identified with the ego, the concepts of right and wrong remain critically relevant.
