Acharya Prashant responds to a question about spiritual books that describe people leaving the world to perform spiritual practices and attain realization. He dismisses these narratives as childish and akin to comic strips, comparing them to unbelievable stories about a man flying out of his body and being in three places at once. He questions the notion that going to a cave in the Himalayas is a special path to realization, pointing out that ancient man lived in caves out of necessity, not for spiritual attainment, and they were not all realized. He humorously highlights the practical difficulties of living in a cave, such as the lack of basic amenities, and questions how one would manage modern habits like tweeting. The speaker asserts that such stories are not about enlightenment but about entertainment, intended for people with below-average intelligence whose discretion has been blunted by an overdose of belief. He argues that these narratives are a form of exploitation, preying on people's vulnerability to beliefs and fear. He equates the writers of such books with those who use threats on social media to gain followers, stating they both exploit people's fear and lack of certainty in the Truth. The primary objective, he claims, is to exploit, control, and dominate. Acharya Prashant explains that these exploiters are afraid of liberation because it signifies fearlessness, which would render people immune to their control. He notes that such gurus often cultivate an intimidating persona and appearance to dominate their followers, as they are internally hollow. This, he says, is why religion has earned a bad name; in the name of religion, people are often just being exploited. He concludes by stating that if something can only be verified by the one experiencing it, it is not existence but madness.
