Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether it is possible to spiritually uplift the entire population. He explains that this depends on the intensity of one's love and the depth of one's "craziness." When sages like Kabir Saheb state that only a rare person knows the truth, they are describing a factual state of affairs, not an ideal to be accepted. This statement is a description of how things usually are, not a prescription for how they ought to be. The sage's intention in pointing this out is to liberate people from illusion (Maya), not for them to remain in darkness. The speaker asserts that the very fact that so few people have true understanding is the reason the world is in a disastrous state and close to devastation. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that such people do not remain a minuscule minority; their numbers must be raised, and the depth of understanding among the common folk must increase. Otherwise, there is no hope for the future or even the present. He acknowledges that this is a difficult task due to our biological and instinctual nature, but it is the very purpose of life to transcend these limitations and achieve those "rare heights." This impossible project requires love and a bit of insanity. Acharya Prashant agrees that misinterpreting scriptures, such as equating intellect (buddhi) with devotion (bhakti), is a "lustful exploitation" of the texts, noting that such distortions are easier to sell to the masses. He explains that true devotion (bhakti) is inseparable from realization and understanding. A devotion that rejects understanding is merely ignorance, servility, and slavery. To distort the words of Shri Krishna while calling oneself his devotee is a sign of a great, arrogant ego that places itself above even Shri Krishna. He further notes that many modern movements and gurus are "mighty scared" of Vedanta because it challenges the ego's security and existing worldviews. They prefer to promote easier, story-based narratives that entertain but do not lead to deep understanding. The speaker concludes by stating that devotion and realization are two names for the same phenomenon. True devotion is devotion to understanding, to the Truth, and to one's central nature. As Vedanta says, "Bodho'ham" (I am understanding), so devotion and understanding must always go together.
