In the name of spirituality, entertainment sells, titillation sells, pleasure sells.

Following is an excerpt from a samvaad (diaogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Question: Do you believe in [Censored]?

Acharya Prashant: What is [Censored]? I have not read any such thing. Do not quote this and that author here. We are talking real stuff, not entertainment. If you know this particular author that you are talking of, for sure you will not know Dattatreya.

L1: Who?

AP: That’s what. The result of knowing such pop authors, is that you do not know the real ones. You will be able to go to the real one, only if you get rid of the popular ones.

L1: Finally, if they are all saying the same thing. Ramayana says the same thing, Mahabharata says the same thing, [Censored] says the same thing. They are all saying the same thing. They all mean the same thing. There is nothing different. I mean, nothing different in anyone. The question was asked because there is a confusion in my mind…

AP: If they say the same thing, why are you confused? Could they say the same thing, that same thing would have cut through all the confusion? You can have billions who are saying the same thing, does that matter? Does that matter?
