There is no such thing as a spiritual place or spiritual land

The following excerpt is from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Question (Q): Do you think that with this modernization of INDIA, this global modernization or to say Post Industrial, so-called Post Industrial!, is in a way destroying Indian culture? At least our Spirituality or its health?

Acharya Prashant (AP): You see, no culture is spiritual. Indian, Western, Martian, no culture is spiritual. Spirituality has nothing to do with culture. All culture is just a social phenomenon. Spirituality doesn’t have much to do with that. India is said to have had a so-called spiritual culture for centuries as you have gone about. Is it your first visit to India?

Listener (L): Yes.

AP: As you have gone about traveling here, do you really feel this is a spiritual land?

L: No. I mean I have met a few. Not land but some people. Some people, not complete.

AP: And those people are probable to be found anywhere. If you have met a few good people here, you would surely meet a few good people even in Russia or Germany or you know in your home country or you know even on some God-forsaken satellite. So, that is just by chance.
