Acharya Prashant explains that spirituality is not a separate space one makes time for, but rather the very space in which everything, including all human activities and business, operates. He states that one cannot have a space for spirituality because spirituality itself is the space wherein all actions of consciousness take place. All human activities, including business, are engaged in for one's own welfare and well-being. As long as we operate in this world as a body, we are continuously dealing with the material. Even a spiritual conversation is dependent on material things like laptops and sound waves, and the body itself is a material thing. Therefore, the model of dividing life into separate compartments like personal, professional, and spiritual is flawed. Spirituality, he clarifies, is about man's consciousness and involves taking the right decisions with respect to the material world. Questions about career, such as starting a firm versus taking a job, or personal decisions about relationships, marriage, and children, are all essentially spiritual questions. If the world is material, spirituality is the light that enables one to walk the material roads and choose rightly between one material thing and another. Without this light, all material options are in darkness, and spirituality is what enables one to operate intelligently on the material. He emphasizes that spirituality is needed at all times and in every moment, comparing it to a heartbeat that must be continuous, quiet, and central. It is the art of knowing what is important and dedicating oneself absolutely to it. The common notion of spirituality being confined to a temple, a specific time slot for meditation, or dealing with the occult and mystical is a limited and flawed understanding. He concludes that we must live spiritually for our own sake and welfare, not as a moral obligation or religious injunction, but as a sensible and reasonable way to live.
