Acharya Prashant explains that spiritual concepts are often used by teachers as tools to dissolve preexisting destructive concepts. However, even benign concepts can become harmful if they overstay their utility; they must disappear once they have served their purpose of clearing the mind. He emphasizes that scriptures are not the truth itself but are tools meant to facilitate seeing by clearing away falseness. Like a matchstick that burns a heap of rubbish and then consumes itself, scriptures should destroy mental nonsense and then vanish rather than becoming a new form of mental clutter.
