Acharya Prashant critiques the popular fascination with spiritual literature that depicts yogis performing supernatural feats, such as flying or existing in multiple locations simultaneously. He dismisses these stories as mere entertainment and thrillers, comparing them to comic strips or childish fiction. He argues that such narratives are designed for individuals with low discernment who are easily swayed by belief and fear. These stories exploit human vulnerability and the desire to 'play it safe' rather than seeking the actual truth. He emphasizes that true liberation is synonymous with fearlessness, which is the very thing these exploitative systems try to prevent. He further explains that the 'guru economy' thrives on the unverifiable and the paranormal, such as ghosts or extraterrestrial experiences. By claiming access to realms that others cannot see, these figures establish a false sense of superiority to control and exploit their followers. Acharya Prashant points out that these individuals often use carefully cultivated personalities, elaborate dressing, and an air of absolute confidence to intimidate and dominate others. He warns that because people are often unable to look beneath the surface, they fall prey to this hollow dominance. Ultimately, he suggests that this widespread exploitation is why many are turning away from religion, noting that it is often safer to engage with philosophy or fiction than with toxic spiritual literature that blunts the intellect.
