Acharya Prashant explains that the primary reason for the internal struggle between spiritual practice and worldly distractions is the artificial separation people create between spirituality and daily life. By labeling daily existence as 'hellish' or 'dirty' and spirituality as 'heavenly' or 'pure,' an individual creates an internal civil war. This leads to a state of hypocrisy where one continues to act on natural impulses but feels immense guilt and shame, which does not actually stop the behavior but only adds a layer of pretension. He emphasizes that spirituality is not about suppressing or killing human tendencies like desire or anger, but about refining them through awareness and wisdom.
