Acharya Prashant explains that true religion is not an unnecessary tradition or a branded system imposed by history or priests, but a liberating force that serves as a solution to the core human problem. He clarifies that the essence of true religion is self-knowledge, which is essential because religion must address the human condition. By understanding our internal state, we can identify what to keep and what to drop, leading to freedom from the inner bondages we are born with and those manifested in social systems, education, and politics. He emphasizes that as long as human beings remain conditioned by the body and external forces, the need for religion will persist. Addressing the skepticism toward organized religion, Acharya Prashant notes that while it is easy to see through the farce of external religious rituals and chaos, a truly religious mind must also see through its own inner farce. He argues that the same discerning eye used to critique organized religion should be directed inward to examine one's own center of operations, identities, and contradictions. This inclination toward self-knowledge is the foundation of true religiosity. He concludes that recognizing the corruption in organized religion is a mark of religiosity, but it must be accompanied by the realization of one's own internal conditioning and foolishness.
