Acharya Prashant explains that scriptures do not provide knowledge in the traditional sense; rather, they act as witnesses for the truth. He describes the human ego as a judge sitting in a courtroom where two parties are present: truth and illusion. While illusion often presents many proofs and speaks loudly through the senses and memory, truth remains subtle and weak in the eyes of the ego. In this scenario, scriptures serve as evidence to support the faint voice of truth within a person, helping the individual decide in favor of what is real. He emphasizes that scriptures do not reveal anything new but validate the internal truth that was already present but lacked strength.
