Believing in God || Acharya Prashant

Full Video: Living Without God: Principles for a Purposeful Life || Acharya Prashant, IIT-Hyderabad (2024)

Transcript

00:00My question is that can a person live without a belief in God?

00:04Why believe when you can know?

00:06What do you do in your labs?

00:07You believe or do you experiment?

00:09Do you test?

00:10So, why can't you have the same approach the entire life?

00:13For everything that life brings to you, why can't you ask questions?

00:17Why can't you impartially observe?

00:20Real religiosity lies in deep curiosity, a deep sense of inquiry.

00:26And it is from that deep sense of inquiry that the truth emerges.

00:30If you want to keep God in your life, if you want that,

00:35then let God be the center of truth in your life.

00:39God as stories, God as history, God as concept, God as belief, God as rituals,

00:46God as assumption, God as tradition makes no sense and is actively toxic.

00:52God as truth is beautiful.

00:54Thank you so much, sir.
