Acharya Prashant explains that the graphic descriptions of war and bloodshed in scriptures like the Durga Saptashati and the Bhagavad Gita are not historical facts but symbolic representations of the internal battles within the human psyche. He clarifies that these texts do not aim to document physical events but rather the constant struggle occurring within our inner world. He emphasizes that interpreting these events as literal history is a misuse of the scriptures, as the authors intentionally used exaggerated figures and supernatural occurrences to signal their symbolic nature.
