Acharya Prashant clarifies that heaven and hell are not distant dimensions or afterlife destinations but are experienced in the present moment through one's associations. He defines heaven as being in the company of those who lead one toward truth and joy, while hell is the company of those who diminish one's consciousness. Regarding Swami Vivekananda, he explains that Swami Vivekananda did not reinterpret the Vedas to suit modern sensibilities but rather re-emphasized the philosophical essence of Vedanta over ritualistic practices. He notes that while the early parts of the Vedas focus on rituals, the concluding parts, the Upanishads, represent the path of knowledge, which is the core of Vedic wisdom. He asserts that the pursuit of truth is independent of historical origins or the personalities of sages. The wisdom of the Upanishads is eternal and universal, often shared by sages who did not even seek to attach their names to their teachings. This anonymity highlights that the truth belongs to no one person. Furthermore, he discusses the role of Vedanta in nation-building, suggesting that a nation is formed by shared values. He identifies Vedanta as the fundamental foundation and unifying force of India, offering a sublime and inclusive platform that transcends sectarian, gender, or ideological divisions.
