Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that spirituality led to India's enslavement, arguing instead that it was a lack of true spirituality that caused it. He defines spirituality as common sense and the fundamental quest to understand the world and oneself. A truly spiritual person, he explains, weakens their association with the material body and therefore loses the fear of death. While such a person is not quarrelsome and may let go of material possessions easily, they cannot be defeated in battle because they are not afraid of physical annihilation. He contrasts this with the historical reality of Indian armies being defeated despite superior numbers, concluding that they were not truly spiritual. Using the story of a sannyasi and Alexander the Great, he illustrates that a spiritual man remains unperturbed even by the threat of death, as he views his own body as mere material. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant distinguishes between spirituality and organized religion, stating that they are often opposites. He asserts that rituals, fasts, and identification with specific sects or creeds are not spiritual practices but rather obstacles to spirituality. True spirituality involves getting rid of all identifications and attachments. He notes that organized religion has historically been hostile to spiritual individuals and that modern international terrorism is a religion-driven phenomenon rather than a spiritual one. He concludes that while individual dharma as a quest for the source is beautiful, it must not be confused with a rigid set of practices or organized religious structures.
