Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of nationalism, cautioning that it can be divisive and violent if founded on differences like race, religion, or language. He explains that the ego thrives on boundaries and separation, which often leads to conflict and war. Instead, he advocates for a virtuous, non-dualistic nationalism based on the unifying principle of the borderless self, or 'Atma', as described in Vedanta. This enlightened nationalism focuses on the inner liberation of the individual and the dissolution of the ego, rather than hostility toward others. He emphasizes that a true nation should exist to uplift its citizens internally and eliminate human suffering collectively.
