Acharya Prashant begins by explaining that you may know all the truths of the world, but if you do not know your own truth, then there is falsehood within you. He uses the analogy of a leaf that has broken from its tree, stating that the first misfortune is to be broken from the source that gave it life and color, and the second, greater misfortune is to remain alive even after being broken. He asserts that those who call themselves devotees are often not devotees at all, but rather believers and superstitious individuals. To identify a counterfeit religion, one must look for the prevalence of convention, tradition, custom, belief, superstition, and assumption. The highest word in life is 'Shraddha' (faith/devotion), but people have mistakenly equated it with 'Vishwas' (belief). Dictionaries may define Shraddha as faith and faith as belief, but this is incorrect. The word 'Shraddha' is composed of 'Shrat' and 'Dha'. 'Shrat' comes from 'Rit', which means Truth, and 'Dha' means to hold. Therefore, Shraddha means to hold only the Truth. This is the opposite of belief, which is a product of the ego's convenience, prejudices, and ignorance. The ego, being hungry and shameless, consumes anything it gets its hands on, first declaring it as its own and then consuming it. It will take the highest principles and mold them to its own liking for its own nourishment. Belief is what you resort to when you do not know. It is based on your blindness, your prejudices, and your ego. For instance, if you are fair-skinned and meet two people, one fair and one dark, you might instinctively trust the fair person due to your prejudice. This is belief. Belief is also based on past experiences and the desire for pleasure. If you have had good sweets from a shop four times, you trust that the fifth time will also be good. This trust is based on the past and the taste. Belief is always self-interest based, seeking security and pleasure. In the religious sphere, this often becomes blind belief, where one accepts others' experiences as truth without any personal verification. Shraddha, on the other hand, is the complete absence of belief. It is not concerned with the future, results, happiness, security, or relationships. Its only concern is Truth. Shraddha is a rebellion against the self, a willingness to burn the self, not protect it. It arises from self-knowledge (Atma-gyan), which reveals that the self is a worthless pile of garbage. Only after this realization does Shraddha, the desire to be free from the false self, emerge. Therefore, Shraddha cannot exist before self-knowledge. A person without self-knowledge cannot be a true devotee. The speaker concludes by quoting Kabir Saheb: "My caste is the soul, my lineage is Brahman, Truth is my father, and liberation is my religion," to illustrate that a true devotee's only concern is Truth and liberation.
