Acharya Prashant explains that the geometry and aesthetics of religious structures, such as temples, are symbolic and must be understood through their meaning. He emphasizes that a real temple points toward the sky, the truth, and absolute freedom. If a visitor cannot see this, it is often due to their own inability to read the meaning rather than a fault of the structure itself. He asserts that one must use intellect and logic when entering a religious space, as mindless religiosity has historically led to misinterpretation and exploitation. He observes that despite the arrival of science and education, superstition and blind cults are increasing. He notes with concern that some religious leaders discourage reading and inquiry, leading to ignorance of central scriptures and a brainwashed state among followers. He concludes that religion requires the highest application of intellect to avoid the pitfalls of superstition and exploitation.
