Acharya Prashant clarifies that Vedanta is fundamentally a philosophy, or 'darshan', rather than a religion in the conventional sense. He explains that while the commonly practiced Hindu religion draws very little from Vedanta, the philosophy itself is universal. He distinguishes philosophy from religion by noting that religion typically involves a God, a prophet, a holy book, and a set of commandments, none of which apply to Vedanta. Vedanta is a simple, direct exploration into truth, accessible to anyone regardless of their background, much like one can learn from philosophers of any nationality. It is a universal inquiry because it begins with the fundamental 'I' that is common to all human beings. The core inquiry of Vedanta addresses the questions: "Who am I?", "Why am I the way I am?", and "How can I get rid of my miserable state?" It is not concerned with external rules, rituals, or social customs. Instead, its primary instruction is to "look into yourself," a process that is valid for any human being who feels they are not well and seeks to understand their existence and their relationship with the world. Vedanta is for everyone because it deals with the universal human experience of suffering and the quest for truth. Addressing a question about the Bhagavad Gita's teaching on action, Acharya Prashant corrects a common misinterpretation. He states that the Gita does not advise against focusing on the result of an action, but rather against focusing on what the result means for oneself personally. One can and should look at the result, like a score in a game, to strategize appropriately. The key is not to be attached to the personal outcome of winning or losing. The Gita's message of desireless action means being so internally strong that the external result has no impact on your core being. The essence of this teaching is to play to win the game, but not to fight to *become* a winner. The true victory lies in remaining untouched by the outcome, recognizing that you are already a winner in a deeper sense, irrespective of the game's result. This inner stability ensures that neither victory nor defeat can disturb your fundamental peace.
