Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the two extremes of blind faith and total rejection of spirituality are essentially the same, as both are based on belief rather than inquiry. He clarifies that real wisdom or spirituality deals with inquiry and does not exist to reinforce beliefs on any end of the spectrum. He emphasizes that one must go beyond these extremes to ask, question, and understand, noting that the nature of human consciousness is to know and seek the truth. Spirituality, therefore, has nothing to do with belief systems regarding gods, heavens, or reincarnations, but is about finding the truth of both the seen universe and the seeing mind.
