Description

Acharya Prashant explains that true religion is the process of bringing a restless mind to peace and sanity. He argues that the current climate crisis is a direct result of the 'false treatments' humans apply to their inner restlessness. If individuals can observe their inner climate with honesty and courage, they will naturally move toward dispassion and detachment from the material consumption that fuels environmental destruction. He posits that the redemption of the outer climate is concurrent with the revival of true religiosity, as the two are fundamentally linked through the practice of renunciation and self-observation.
