Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the relevance of studying the lives and teachings of past saints like Kabir Saheb and Bulleh Shah in the modern era. He explains that while the physical world and technology change, the fundamental nature of the human mind remains the same. The saints spoke about universal themes such as fear, delusion, attachment, and illusion, which are just as prevalent today as they were centuries ago. He argues that their teachings are even more relevant now because the internal darkness and mental conflicts of humans have not diminished over time. Unlike scientific texts that become obsolete as new discoveries are made, spiritual wisdom is timeless because it deals with the unchanging aspects of human existence. Acharya Prashant further distinguishes between being superficially modern and being truly new. He points out that many people today use the latest technology, like modern smartphones, yet their internal conversations and impulses—such as lust, anger, and attachment—are as primitive as those of ancient animals. In contrast, the saints may be from the past, but their words remain eternally fresh and 'new' because they point toward the eternal truth. He emphasizes that one should value the timeless message over the age of the person delivering it. By living in alignment with these eternal truths that are not subject to time, an individual transcends the cycle of birth and death and achieves a form of immortality, whereas focusing on transient, time-bound matters leads to a state of spiritual death.
