Acharya Prashant explains that religious prejudices arise when the subtle is turned into the gross. While religion focuses on names, forms, and conventions, spirituality deals with the subtle truth. He questions the identity of Jesus, suggesting that one must look beyond the physical form or historical figure. He notes that many ardent evangelists have missed the essence of Jesus. There are two types of missionary zeal: one born of love and realization, which radiates like the sun, and another born of insecurity. In the latter, individuals seek to gather a crowd to validate their own lack of realization and to cover their internal debauched state. The speaker distinguishes between love and evangelism, stating that love acts for the sake of the other, while evangelism is driven by personal insecurity and the need for support. He emphasizes that the path taken is less important than whether one has actually attained the truth. He challenges the identity of the seeker, asking who it is that claims to have found a path or God. He points out that many who identify as Christians or Hindus have no real relationship with Christ or Shri Krishna. He suggests that the best way to understand these figures is to go directly to their teachings in the Bible or the Bhagavad Gita, noting that being with Christ is fundamentally different from being a Christian.
