Description

Acharya Prashant explains that both blind faith and cynical rejection of spirituality are essentially the same, as both are based on belief rather than inquiry. He asserts that real wisdom or spirituality deals with inquiry and does not exist to reinforce beliefs on any end of the spectrum. According to Vedanta, the nature of human consciousness is to know, and without knowing the truth, one cannot feel at peace. Therefore, spirituality is about knowing and questioning rather than adhering to any belief system, whether it involves gods, heavens, or reincarnations.
