Acharya Prashant explains that human beings are born in a state of physical and psychological immaturity, often remaining enslaved to inner tendencies and bondages throughout their lives. He distinguishes between two types of religion: organized religion, which often acts as a 'toy' that perpetuates immaturity through hollow rituals and superstitions, and true religiosity or spirituality, which serves as a liberating force. He argues that the common rejection of religion as 'childish' is often based on the distorted, organized version, while the essence of true religion is actually self-knowledge and the pursuit of freedom from internal bondages.
