Acharya Prashant explains that culture is a time-bound, man-made construct that varies across locations and centuries. He argues that what people currently consider their 'rich culture' is often a collection of practices adopted from invaders or developed within the last century, such as specific clothing, food items like potatoes and tomatoes, and even certain moral codes regarding alcohol. He emphasizes that culture is not equivalent to the truth and should never be treated as absolute or sacred. Only the truth, or 'Satya', is eternal and deserving of worship, whereas culture must be continuously refined and updated to serve the truth. Using the Bhagavad Gita as an example, Acharya Prashant describes the dialogue between Shri Krishna and Arjuna as a struggle of liberation against culture. Arjuna argues for the preservation of social structures and traditions based on superstition and caste, while Shri Krishna dismisses these as 'trash' and urges Arjuna to prioritize liberation. The speaker points out that many traditions once considered essential, such as child marriage or the prohibition of widow remarriage, have been rightly abolished through social reform. He asserts that religion should serve the truth rather than being equated with ritualistic culture. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that while traditions can be beautiful, they must have real meaning and point toward the truth to remain relevant. He warns against the pseudo-scientific practice of superimposing fake meanings onto random traditions. He encourages the starting of new, sacred traditions that suit the current environment and society, while remaining ready to discard any tradition that no longer serves a meaningful purpose. The ultimate goal for a person should be devotion to liberation and truth, not the blind following of time-bound cultural practices.
