Acharya Prashant critiques the common perception of saintliness, arguing that the concept of a 'saint' has been materialized and reduced to a set of physical attributes and behaviors. He explains that people often identify saints based on external markers like saffron clothing, a calm demeanor, or specific rituals, which makes it easy for anyone to act the part. He points out that historical figures like Shri Krishna, Jesus, and Kabir Saheb were unique and did not conform to a standardized image of a saint. In fact, he suggests that a real saint would likely appear as a heretic or a misfit because their expression of truth is fresh and original, rather than a repetition of tradition.
