He unpacks why goodness performed out of belief is fundamentally different from goodness that arises from attention and understanding, and why blind donation or ritual can end up funding harm rather than good. The conversation moves into why the Bhagavad Gita is philosophy rather than story, resting on three core ideas: prakriti, atma, and kaal. He distinguishes shruti from smriti and insists that any scripture worth following must be open to proof, verification, and falsification rather than blind belief. The exchange challenges the idea that religious ritual alone defines something as religious, pointing instead to presence and honest inquiry. ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe...
