Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether religious texts should be revised given that views change over time. He explains that spiritual texts contain two types of material: time-dependent content, which is specific to the period it was written, and timeless content, which is independent of time. He asserts that parts of scriptures that are no longer relevant, such as those dealing with outdated social structures, ancient technology, or specific cultural practices, can be dropped or ignored without being disrespectful to the sages. However, he cautions against discarding the timeless core, which addresses the fundamental and unchanging nature of the human mind and its tendencies, such as fear, jealousy, and the sense of 'I' or ego.
