Acharya Prashant clarifies that the advice to abandon books is only for those who have already read them; one cannot let go of something they have never held. He emphasizes that his work is centered on bringing the highest literature to people, including the works of J. Krishnamurti, Kabir Saheb, and various scriptures. He highlights the importance of reading diverse perspectives, even those that seem contradictory, such as Krishnamurti’s view that a guru is unnecessary versus Kabir Saheb’s praise for the guru. He insists that a seeker must be well-read across various fields, including philosophy, Sufism, and Zen, to maintain an open mind.
