What is Sin? || Acharya Prashant, on Vivekachudamani and Bible (2018)

A teacher is one, who is well versed in the scriptures, pure, unaffiliated by desire, a perfect knower of the supreme, who continuously abides in the supreme, who is as calm as the fire that has burnt-up its fuel, who is a spontaneous ocean of mercy that needs no cause for its expression, an intimate friend to all good people, who surrender to him.

~ Vivekachudamani (Verse 33)

*Acharya Prashant: Nimisha has quoted Vivekachudamani. So, she is asking what it means to be sinless?*

In the Bible it is said that man was born from the original sin that stemmed from Adam and Eve, in the garden of Eden The Lord Jesus Christ had all the above mentioned qualities and died on the cross, to redeem a man of him. Yet the world is mired in sin and suffering like never before.

Please help me understand sin and sinlessness in right context.

The original sin is to assume a form you have, quoted the Bible. And there too, the sin was to taste the forbidden fruit and then as a punishment to be born in the world. As a punishment to be expelled from the holy garden of bliss and to be born as human beings in the world.
