Acharya Prashant responds to a question about why he connects everyday matters like language, food, and clothing to Dharma (righteousness). He begins by asking what Dharma is if not related to daily life, which consists of relationships, eating, drinking, shopping, conversation, and livelihood. He argues that if Dharma is not connected to these things, then it has no place in life at all. He criticizes the tendency to relegate Dharma to a mere fortnightly, one-hour ritual, like visiting a temple, while the rest of life is lived arbitrarily. He calls this compartmentalization not Dharma, but Adharma (unrighteousness). The speaker refutes the idea that one can be a good person through 'humanity' or 'human values' without being religious. He questions the origin of these so-called human values, suggesting that without Dharma, man is just an animal, a gorilla recently emerged from the jungle. He explains that to become truly human, to move beyond the animalistic, Dharma is essential. The ego's desire is to remove Dharma to get a chance to act arbitrarily. He asserts that one cannot do good to others without Dharma, because without it, one does not even know the meaning of 'good'. All human faculties—intellect, experience, and sight—are directed outwards and do not know their own source, the ego. Therefore, any 'good' action performed is still rooted in the ego, which is the greatest evil. Acharya Prashant clarifies that when he speaks of Dharma, he means pure spirituality (Adhyatma), which asks the fundamental question, "Who are you?" This 'I' or ego is the engine of one's life and manifests in all choices, including language, food, and clothing. Dharma is the light of consciousness that is needed moment to moment to illuminate all actions. He distinguishes this from ritualism (Karmakand) and culture. Spirituality's only concern is that the mind should not be impure, whereas culture is concerned with preserving traditions. Spirituality and culture can often be at odds because spirituality is about indestructible Truth, while culture prioritizes beliefs and traditions. Therefore, spirituality is the light needed for every action, every moment, whether one is going to the kitchen, the toilet, or the temple.
