Acharya Prashant explains that the necessity of Vedanta or religion arises from the fundamental human condition of suffering. Unlike animals, human beings experience misery and therefore require a remedy. He describes Vedanta as the most fundamental medicine for this condition, emphasizing that it is not about conversion or evangelism but about finding what practically works to liberate one from suffering. While non-dualism is the most logical and pure interpretation of Vedanta, he notes that dualistic paths also exist and can lead one to the same central message of the Upanishads. The goal is not to put Vedanta under a scanner, but to investigate our own understanding and condition.
