Acharya Prashant addresses a comment that sarcastically suggests the stories of the Panchatantra are more enlightening than religious scriptures. He acknowledges that while the comment is sarcastic, it holds some truth. He explains that the stories of the Panchatantra, which were written for children, do offer some lessons and have some benefit. However, he questions if these lessons are sufficient for a human being, who requires a much higher form of benefit and should not stop at the level of children's stories. He emphasizes the need to correctly define what a religious scripture (Dharmagranth) is, stating that not every old book can be called a scripture. A true scripture is one that is concerned with the investigation of the ego (Aham), the scrutiny of the mind, understanding one's inner nature, and leading one's restlessness towards peace. Any book that deals with magic, ghosts, or spirits is not a religious scripture; such books only corrupt and defame religion (Dharma). He clarifies that the problem is not with the scriptures themselves but with our flawed definition and understanding of them. It is crucial to distinguish between the central, timeless teachings (Saar) and the peripheral, time-bound elements (Thotha). Acharya Prashant refutes the idea that scriptures are based on fear and need to be moved towards love, stating that true scriptures are the very source of love. Similarly, he addresses the call for scriptures to adopt a scientific temper. He explains that superstition is the lowest level, scientific temper is above it, but Dharma (spirituality) is the highest. Science deals with the external world, while spirituality deals with the inner self. Since the inner self is more important than the external world, spirituality is more important than science. A truly spiritual person will naturally have a scientific outlook towards the world, but for the inner world, a spiritual perspective is needed, which science cannot provide. He concludes that those who focus on the peripheral and fantastical elements of religious stories do so as an excuse to avoid the central, timeless, and transformative teachings of true scriptures.
