Acharya Prashant explains that human ideologies and eras of thought do not represent a fundamental change because they are all rooted in the nature of thought itself. He argues that the content and configuration of language may change, but thought remains old because it is dependent on time. True novelty only arises when action originates from a center that is not thought. He defines the 'new' as that which cannot be made old by time, asserting that anything subject to time is already old, regardless of whether it is four years or eighty years old. He suggests that the human tendency to analyze, name, and theorize about reality is a sign of a lack of understanding, as true understanding leads to living rather than theorizing. Acharya Prashant further discusses the nature of rebellion and energy, noting that energy is often loud, vulgar, and demonstrative, which attracts attention but remains gross. He contrasts this with the energy of a true hero, which flows harmoniously and subtly. While this true rebellion is uncompromising and strong, it is not necessarily loud or explosive unless required by the situation. He warns that linking rebellion exclusively to high bursts of energy limits it, making it a rare occurrence rather than a constant state of being. He concludes that when one truly knows something, there is no need for theories, as theorizing is merely a substitute for direct understanding.
