Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the Bhagavad Gita is a philosophical document of the highest order rather than a mere story. Using the mystical poetry of Lal Ded, he explains that most people are born and die through the 'highway' of deep unconsciousness, a cycle of flesh and blood that millions follow without awareness. He argues that if one is born unconsciously and dies unconsciously, the life lived in between is necessarily unconscious. To break this cycle, one must seek a 'flyway' or a 'ferry' to cross the ocean of worldly existence, which requires paying a steep price in the form of spiritual practice or Sadhana.
