Acharya Prashant explains that core scriptures are philosophical documents of the highest order and are not merely storybooks or books of beliefs. He compares the relevance of scriptures to the Pythagoras Theorem, stating that just as mathematical laws remain constant as long as squares and triangles exist, spiritual texts remain relevant because they address the unchanging facts of the inner universe. While external conditions like technology and prosperity have changed over thousands of years, the internal state of man—characterized by fear, greed, lust, and ignorance—remains exactly as it was in the time of the caveman. Consequently, scriptures continue to be as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. He further notes that while science and politics become outdated, scriptures possess timeless relevance because every human is born with the same internal nature. He suggests that scriptures have not become outdated but have simply gone out of fashion. He proposes that worthy scriptures like the Ashtavakra Gita should be presented as symbols of coolness for the younger generation, as they are practically useful and address the needs currently filled by nonsensical self-help books.
