Acharya Prashant explains that the objective of the Upanishads is not to be memorized as information but to serve as a cleansing agent for the mind. He notes that individuals typically approach these scriptures with a mind already burdened by a mountain of false information, ignorance, fear, and agitation. This existing knowledge is not merely intellectual but is deeply ingrained in one's physical and psychological being. The Upanishads provide a special type of knowledge that cannot be co-opted or absorbed into one's existing mental structure; instead, their purpose is to destroy the false patterns of knowledge that a person carries.
