Acharya Prashant addresses a question about whether spirituality can help fight phobias, particularly when logic fails to prevent fear of ghosts, leading to a desire for a God-like presence. He begins by stating that there is no God in spirituality. He explains that one common way of dealing with fears is to believe in ghosts and then, to counter that, start believing in gods. This creates an inner battlefield of "ghosts versus gods," where one ensures the gods win. This tried-and-tested method has helped many people, which is why such stories persist. However, spirituality offers another way: to ask oneself, "Do I need to counter imagination with imagination?" He explains that there is a part of us with a fertile imagination but no taste for truth. This part creates fanciful ideas, like ghosts, and then forgets that these ideas are its own subjective creation, leading to terror from one's own imagination. This imaginary danger is then countered with another imaginary reality, like God. In this state, the mind does not clearly distinguish between reality and imagination. Spirituality is not about believing in anything, neither ghosts nor gods; it is about seeking the Truth. The same arguments that disprove the existence of ghosts also deny the existence of the popular, story-based God, who is merely the dualistic counterpart of ghosts. Spirituality is not allergic to the word "God" but defines it clearly, without stories, communalism, or sectarianism. In spirituality, God is one's highest potential, the pure Self, which Vedanta refers to as "Atma." Spirituality is an investigation into one's own existence, asking, "Who am I?" and "Why do I suffer?" It is about realizing one's own godly potential by clearing away internal nonsense, such as genetic and social conditioning. Spirituality is inherently empowering because it places choice and power within oneself, not at the mercy of uncontrollable external forces. Suffering arises from a lack of attention, realization, discretion, and right knowledge. Therefore, the way to end suffering is to be more attentive and to realize the Truth.
