Acharya Prashant explains that India is currently too religious to be spiritual, noting that individuals from religious backgrounds often struggle to listen without prejudice compared to those from irreligious backgrounds. He describes organized religion as a collection of frozen methods and rituals that have been co-opted by Maya, losing their original spiritual efficacy. He points out a significant disconnect where people prioritize cultural traditions and rituals over the core wisdom of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, often ignoring these scriptures entirely to maintain their existing beliefs.
