Acharya Prashant explains that religion is an essential enabler for human civilization, acting as a bridge to the truth. While religion is ephemeral and has limitations, its benefits are foundational to human behavior and discipline. He argues that without the influence of religion, humans would remain in their animalistic state, driven solely by basic instincts or cold intellect. He describes the human being as a 'human beast' at birth, who is only transformed into a true human being through the civilizing and heart-centered influence of religious values.
