Acharya Prashant explains that peace and truth are not objects to be acquired or known through the mind. He clarifies that the common linguistic expression 'the wise knows the truth' is misleading, as truth is not a hidden secret or a physical object to be found in books or through gurus. Instead, self-realization is the profound realization that there is nothing to find or attain, often resulting in a 'grand laughter' at the futility of one's previous search. He describes this state as true innocence, where one understands that the concepts of God held by the superstitious are merely mental constructs. He argues that a person must be a 'supreme atheist' to truly understand the divine, as conventional religious belief is often rooted in blind faith and social conditioning. Acharya Prashant critiques organized religion, stating that those who claim to know God without direct realization are being dishonest. He emphasizes that true religiosity is the 'art of being a true atheist,' which involves negating all false beliefs and superstitions. He points out that the resistance to his teachings often comes from those who are traditionally religious because their beliefs are based on rigid traditions rather than actual understanding. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant challenges the common argument that the complexity of the world proves the existence of a creator. He asserts that before asking who runs the world, one must investigate what the world is and who the observer is. He contends that most concepts of God are created by the human ego to provide a sense of security, making God smaller than the ego itself. He concludes that the entire system of organized religion is like a house of cards built on the foundation of the ego; if the ego is removed, the system collapses. True inquiry must begin with the question 'Who am I?' rather than focusing on external codes of conduct or divine systems.
