Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the alienation of Dalits from Sanatana Dharma due to discrimination. He states that there is no need to go to a temple that practices discrimination, as such a place is not worthy of being called a temple. He explains that this is not a new issue, citing a similar query about a marriage being rejected due to caste differences. His advice was to not pursue that marriage, as a person with true love would not heed a family that links love to caste. Applying the same logic, he explains that we go to a temple to cleanse the mind, so what kind of temple is it that judges a person by their body or caste? He questions the basis of caste, pointing out that biologically, all bodies are the same—skin is skin, and blood is blood. When people need blood from a blood bank, they do not check the caste of the donor. He refers to the Vajrasuchi Upanishad, where a guru explains to his disciple that the body has no caste, and the soul (Atma) is unborn (ajaat), so it cannot have a caste either. Therefore, Vedanta's answer is that caste is merely a mental construct, an imagination. Acharya Prashant clarifies that the Rishis and saints have always taught that caste is meaningless, but the culture has failed to change. He advises not to blame the Rishis for the persistence of the caste system, as they repeatedly spoke against it. He asserts that in a temple where a Dalit is forbidden, Truth is also forbidden from entering. He tells the questioner to inform his friend that when he is outside such a temple, Truth is also outside with him. Vedanta is not the exclusive right of any particular group, be it Pandits, Purohits, or Brahmins; it is for everyone. The teachings of the saints and gurus are for all. He concludes by redefining the concept of a temple and pilgrimage. Vedanta itself is the true temple. Citing the Atmapuja Upanishad, he explains that real worship is internal. He quotes Kabir Saheb to mock the focus on external structures like mosques and temples made of brick and stone. The true pilgrimage site is where the mind becomes calm, and the person in whose presence this happens is a Tirthankara. This is the real worship. One should learn to live by these subtle definitions, not the gross ones. The gross definition of a temple is a physical location, but the subtle and true definition is a state where illusions break and fear subsides.
