Acharya Prashant explains that religion is often misunderstood as a code of conduct, loyalty to a specific book, or a belief system. He asserts that such belief systems are externally implanted and lack deep roots, which is why people can change them easily. However, he clarifies that what people change are actually sects or cults, not true religion. True religion, or Dharma, is singular and universal; it is the awakening of one's own consciousness and understanding, rather than following external rituals or visiting specific places of worship. Just as God is nameless and formless, true religion has no name and resides within the heart, making it impossible to substitute or change.
