Description

Acharya Prashant explains that scriptures do not offer knowledge in the same way science does. Science is incremental and knowledge-based, where one can build upon the work of predecessors. In contrast, spirituality requires every individual to start afresh from their own position, as one cannot stand on the shoulders of others in this domain. He emphasizes that while science focuses on looking at objects objectively without prejudice, spirituality involves looking at the subject and object together, leading to the emergence of the witness. Science remains oblivious to the observer's internal state, whereas in spirituality, everything depends on who the individual is and their mental refinement.
