Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether worldly knowledge or spiritual knowledge is more important for a conscious life. He explains that the two are not separate; they appear different externally but are one internally. What is called spiritual knowledge is essentially the investigation and examination of the mind. For liberation, there are two requirements because we are caught in duality, which has two ends. One end is the world that binds us, and the other is the mind that is attracted to the world. The world entices the mind, and the mind decorates the world, forming a deep relationship. Therefore, one who seeks liberation must investigate both. This is why the speaker repeatedly emphasizes the importance of both science and spirituality. Science is necessary to know the reality of the world and physical matter, while spirituality is needed to understand the mind—its nature, workings, and hidden games. He asserts that in the current age of information technology, it is a foolish question to ask which one to choose, as resources for both are abundant. He criticizes those who claim to be spiritual but do not understand science, and vice versa, stating that basic scientific knowledge should be known by everyone. Acharya Prashant advocates for the integration of both fields, suggesting that scientific institutions should have departments for spiritual studies and spiritual centers should have science faculties. He points out that a truly scientific mind will eventually turn towards spirituality to address the 'problem of consciousness,' where the observer becomes as important as the observed. Conversely, a genuinely spiritual person will hold great respect for science. He warns that those who are anti-science are often also anti-scripture, and a person claiming to be spiritual while disrespecting science is likely a fraud. Using analogies, he compares the need for both to having two legs to walk, two wings for a bird to fly, or two engines for an airplane. The mind is like a bird that needs the two wings of science and spirituality to soar into the sky of liberation. He wishes to see the Upanishads placed alongside Einstein's books and the sayings of saints next to the latest research journals. This confluence is where one crosses over, like a boat with two oars. Therefore, one must know both the world and the self, as they are not separate.
