Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why people are indifferent to knowing and prefer to follow beliefs. He begins by stating that the desire to know something new only arises when one humbly accepts their own ignorance. If a person has already convinced themselves that they know everything, there is no room for new knowledge to enter. The speaker then discusses two types of people mentioned by the questioner: those who follow traditional worship (puja-path) and those who are hedonistic (party-type). He explains that the ritualistic individuals have convinced themselves that the ultimate truth is already known because their ancestors were great. They believe their forefathers have already provided all the ultimate concepts about truth, life, and God, and they simply need to repeat them. This belief provides great satisfaction to the ego, as it allows them to feel great by association with their ancestors, much like one feels proud of having the shiniest car or the smartest child. However, Acharya Prashant clarifies that while India has a rich heritage from great sages, poets, and scientists, spiritual greatness cannot be inherited. One can inherit scriptures and methods, but greatness must be earned individually. In the spiritual realm, everyone must start from zero; you cannot consume what others have cooked. Spirituality requires the transformation and dissolution of the knower, a process that cannot be passed down. These ritualistic people avoid new questions because it would mean questioning the past, which they perceive as a form of atheism. In contrast, the speaker defines true theism (astikta) as curiosity—the fearless desire to question everything to understand the truth, driven by the realization that not-knowing is the root of suffering. On the other hand, the 'party-type' people have made partying their religion, believing it is the source of happiness. They know deep down that it doesn't provide ultimate joy, but the temporary excitement helps them escape their inner sorrow. They avoid any deep questioning because it would expose their inner emptiness and depression. Thus, both groups avoid genuine inquiry because it threatens their established beliefs and illusions. The speaker concludes that in the spiritual field, greatness cannot be inherited; it must be earned by oneself, and this journey begins with the dissolution of the knower.
