Acharya Prashant explains that the relationship between emotion and the Divine depends entirely on one's definition of God. He describes emotion as the most ancient, primitive, and animalistic expression of human tendencies, deeply rooted in the physical body. Using examples of animals, infants, and the mentally ill, he illustrates that while they may lack complex thought or language, they still possess emotions because emotions persist as long as the body exists. He distinguishes between 'feeling' as a purely physical sensation and 'emotion' as an interface between the body and society, yet emphasizes that both are fundamentally tied to the physical self.
