Acharya Prashant distinguishes between culture and religion, noting that culture is based on behavior and Smriti, while true religion is rooted in Shruti, such as the Vedanta, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita. He argues that the Indian Constitution is fundamentally aligned with the core of religion because its values like equality and fraternity resonate with Vedantic principles. The actual conflict observed in society is not between the Constitution and religion, but between the Constitution and popular culture, which often relies on peripheral traditions rather than essential spiritual truths. Regarding discrimination, he explains that it stems from the ego's search for fulfillment through worldly objects. He differentiates between blind discrimination based on social conditioning and spiritual discretion, or vivek. True discretion involves identifying what is genuinely useful for one's liberation. He emphasizes that unity cannot be found in the diverse physical world but only at the level of the self. Therefore, the Constitution’s call for unity is a deeply spiritual objective that requires bringing individuals back to their true nature. He further clarifies that belief systems are often mistaken for religion, leading to insecurity and conflict. While beliefs are based on imagination and lack proof, true religion is founded on self-observation and realization. He asserts that real religion is essentially freedom from false religion and blind assumptions. By challenging internal lies and superstitions, individuals can attain self-knowledge, which is the true basis of self-respect. Ultimately, he suggests that for democracy to succeed, the electorate must be educated to rise above animal instincts like fear and greed through spiritual awakening.
