Acharya Prashant addresses the common perception of religion as a childish and irrational social convention. He explains that human beings are born physically and psychologically immature, often remaining enslaved to bodily tendencies and inner darkness throughout their lives. He distinguishes between 'organized religion,' which often acts as a hollow toy that reinforces immaturity through rituals and superstitions, and 'true religiosity' or spirituality, which serves as a liberating force. He argues that the presence of distorted, superstitious practices should not lead one to dismiss the essential need for a system that addresses the core human problem of internal bondage.
