Acharya Prashant explains that when a philosophy is turned into an organized religion, its underlying beauty is often lost. He notes that for Indians, the Bhagavad Gita became part of a large religious complex, whereas in the West, it remained a philosophy, allowing Western thinkers to penetrate its depths more effectively. He highlights that the Gita is an active destroyer of convention, tradition, and myth, representing a modern attitude through Shri Krishna. Because modernity first emerged in the West, Western audiences often resonate more closely with the text. Acharya Prashant emphasizes the importance of the freedom to critique and dissent, sharing a personal anecdote about questioning Shri Krishna's words as a child. He concludes that without the freedom to dissent, one cannot truly have the freedom to love, as both require an environment of liberty rather than blind adherence to tradition.
