Acharya Prashant explains that ancient civilizations and cultures emerged from a state of ignorance, evolving from primitive ancestors. He notes that while ancient scriptures like the Vedas contain profound wisdom, they also contain many ideas that are scientifically incorrect or irrelevant today because the sages of that time lacked modern tools, technology, and accumulated knowledge. He emphasizes that we should not blame them for these inaccuracies, as their efforts to understand the world were remarkable for their time. However, the problem arises when we stop using our own intelligence and blindly accept everything in these texts as absolute truth. He advocates for the approach of taking the essence and discarding the useless parts, as suggested by Kabir Saheb.
