Acharya Prashant explains that spirituality is the art of living correctly with the material world, rather than being separate from it. He clarifies that spirituality is for the living being, which is inherently material. He uses the metaphor of light to describe spirituality, stating that without this light, the material world becomes a source of fear and confusion. Just as light is only visible when it reflects off an object, spirituality and materialism must coexist; there is no need to seek a balance between them because they are fundamentally intertwined. He advises against the common advice of 'balancing' the two, suggesting instead that one should live in the world with the light of spiritual understanding.
