Acharya Prashant responds to a question about his preference between left and right ideologies by using an analogy: choosing between someone who steals your food and someone who gives you rotten food. He explains that for the left, religion is a sign of backwardness, superstition, and madness. They consider themselves intellectuals but fail to see that the intellect merely serves the ego. The left denies absolute Truth, promoting a "post-truth" world of relative, subjective truths where the ego is supreme. They believe the highest good is "freedom," but define it superficially as the liberty to fulfill any desire, without understanding the nature of bondage. The right-wing, in turn, has made religion into the very thing the left criticizes: a collection of superstitions, conventions, and lies. In this way, the left and right are not opposites but walk hand-in-hand, both destroying religion. The left destroys it with disrespect, while the right destroys it with "respectful destruction," paying lip service to tradition while corrupting its essence. The right claims to believe in a higher truth but reduces it to their own stories, selfish interests, and base ideas. Both ideologies are ignorant and servants of the ego. Acharya Prashant states that he is neither left nor right and is criticized by both. He points out that both sides insult the true meaning of "Ram." The left would call him regressive for mentioning Ram, while the right would use it as a political slogan, both missing the spiritual essence. He notes that the left at least allows for freedom of expression, making dialogue possible, while the right, despite fearing freedom, at least superficially respects religious scriptures, which can be a starting point for discussion. However, he concludes that both are two forms of the same fakeness and that there is no place for true spirituality in either. He quotes Kabir Saheb to emphasize his reliance on the ultimate Truth (Ram), which is beyond both ideologies.
