Acharya Prashant explains that human beings are born with an innate biological tendency to divide, exploit, and seek superiority or inferiority. This internal mischief hunts for opportunities, which are unfortunately provided by cultural and religious practices. He asserts that being born in human shape or possessing worldly knowledge of sciences and politics does not make one truly human. True humanity arises only when one understands their own consciousness and existential reality. This self-knowledge is the only thing that distinguishes humans from animals, yet it is entirely neglected in modern education. Instead of self-knowledge, relationships are governed by conditioning from the past, which is often proudly called culture. This conditioning dictates how to behave toward others based on caste or religion before an individual has a chance to discover the truth for themselves. Acharya Prashant notes that this culture is often perceived as sacred because it is linked to religious books. However, in Hinduism, there is a lack of clarity regarding central scriptures. While Vedanta, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita are central and dismiss caste, many other miscellaneous books like certain Puranas and Smritis support it. He emphasizes that any text violating the philosophy of the Vedas, or Shruti, must be dismissed as non-religious. A true scripture, or Shastra, is one that deals with self-inquiry and probes one's identity. He argues that the root cause of incidents like caste-based suicide is the lack of real education regarding the self and the scripture. To eliminate such evils, there must be a deep reform where Hindus collectively decide that caste is not part of Hinduism and prioritize the study of Vedanta over outdated, contradictory documents.
