Acharya Prashant explains that spirituality is not about the afterlife, the supernatural, or imaginary heavens, but about understanding one's life here and now. He emphasizes that for a living being, there is nothing beyond this world and this life. All human imaginations of the 'beyond' are actually rooted in earthly experiences and often arise from a desire to escape current suffering. He asserts that spirituality is the art of living and behaving correctly in the physical world by overcoming delusions, which he refers to as 'Maya'. To be spiritually 'skillful in behavior' means to understand the reality of the practical world, rather than being cunning or socially manipulative.
