Acharya Prashant addresses the perceived conflict between the Bhagavad Gita and the Constitution, asserting that the heart of the Constitution is freedom, which in its highest form is liberation. He explains that the founding fathers' vision of freedom aligns with the spiritual teachings of the Upanishads and Ashtavakra Gita. He emphasizes that the one who identifies with freedom and strives for it will ultimately become free. He refutes the claim that the Constitution is a foreign or non-indigenous document, arguing instead that it represents the universal aspirations of humanity and is applicable to all people regardless of nationality. Acharya Prashant warns against attempts to subvert or replace the Constitution, stating that it already embodies the spirit of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. He highlights that fundamental rights and directive principles are designed to provide a secure ecosystem that allows individuals to blossom fully and actualize their potential. These rights ensure an environment where one can work toward the real purpose of life without being consumed by superficial bondages.
