Acharya Prashant addresses a question about whether enlightened beings like Buddha and Mahavir "felt" God. He strongly refutes this notion, stating that in Buddha's entire philosophy, there is no such thing as God. He dismisses the idea of "feeling" or "drinking" the divine as a poetic or cinematic fantasy. He clarifies that the path of these great individuals was not about a single moment of ecstasy but involved decades of hard work and self-understanding to uncover the cause of their suffering. It is a serious endeavor, not a pursuit of fun or a high. The speaker warns against the concept of "romantic spirituality," which he says has harmed the true spiritual path in recent times. This romanticism misrepresents spirituality as something about getting intoxicated, dancing ecstatically, or finding a metaphorical cupbearer (Saqi) to serve divinity. He explains that the real work is about peeling away the layers of one's false beliefs, which is a laborious process. Acharya Prashant further elaborates on the distinction between emotion (bhavna) and consciousness (chetna). He explains that our emotions originate from our animalistic center and are fundamentally the same as those of animals, merely expressed in a more cultured way. He cautions against giving emotion a high place in spirituality, asserting that even devotion (bhakti) is not the same as emotionalism. To mistake an element of nature (prakriti), such as emotion, for the Self (atma) is a fatal error. The language of "drinking God" is the language of intoxication, whereas the spiritual path is about going beyond all intoxication to reach understanding (bodh). Responding to another question about why one fails to act on their understanding, Acharya Prashant explains that the fault is not in our actions but in our very being (hasti); the mistake is the doer (karta) itself. We are fundamentally flawed, but this flawed self inherently desires correction. This transformation, however, is not voluntary but comes from a state of helplessness. The practical solution is 'Satsangati' (the company of Truth), which creates a situation that compels one to change. He concludes that spirituality is not emotionalism but a martial art, where nature uses emotions as a weapon against consciousness.
