They emphasize that true religion, rooted in the essence of Hinduism (Shruti), is about liberation from suffering, while popular beliefs (Smriti) often lead to conflict and discrimination. The conversation highlights the need for an educated and self-aware populace to navigate the complexities of democracy, which is often undermined by fear and misinformation.
