Acharya Prashant explains that from a spiritual perspective, shame is a significant virtue when directed toward the Divine. He distinguishes between worldly shame, which is often a superficial concern for social reputation, and spiritual shame, which arises from the realization of one's own failures despite the constant grace and opportunities provided by the Truth. He notes that while people often hide their worldly mistakes from society to maintain a false image, they lack the necessary humility and shame before the Divine. He emphasizes that true shame is an ornament that belongs only in the presence of the Truth, the scriptures, or the Guru, where one feels a deep sense of unworthiness for not living up to the love and potential offered to them. He further clarifies that being shameless before the world is necessary, but one must remain deeply modest before the Divine. Drawing parallels with various traditions, he mentions that saints often sing about their inability to face the Divine due to their stained character. He also points out that Christianity is fundamentally based on the concepts of sin and guilt, serving as a movement against human shamelessness by constantly reminding individuals of their wrongdoings and the need for repentance. Ultimately, he asserts that a person who has lost this inner sense of shame or 'water' has no possibility of spiritual growth, as it is this very shame that acts as a catalyst for transformation and devotion.
