Acharya Prashant explains that human life requires a foundation that is not born out of social influences or the human mind, as these are constantly changing. He emphasizes that the purpose of spirituality is to provide the deepest inner assurance and peace, which can only be found in that which is unchangeable and not man-made. He contrasts culture, values, and traditions—which are in a state of constant flux—with the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads. He points out that even within a few decades, societal values regarding education, clothing, and language have shifted significantly, proving that culture is an ever-changing entity.
