Acharya Prashant explains that the Indian Constitution originates from the spirit of freedom, which is deeper and more holistic than mere political independence. He clarifies that while independence involved replacing the Union Jack with the tricolor, freedom was a continuous project intended to persist long after 1947. The speaker highlights that the members of the Constituent Assembly were freedom fighters whose ideals were rooted in profound spiritual principles. He notes that many freedom fighters, including figures like Aurobindo, Tilak, and even Bhagat Singh, drew significant inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita. Even when Bhagat Singh identified as an atheist, he maintained an unflinching faith in the truth, which is the core message of the Gita—submitting oneself to truth and fighting for it above all else. Acharya Prashant argues that while terms like sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic have contemporary European contexts, their essence is deeply spiritual. For instance, being sovereign means not being ruled by anything outside of oneself, which transcends mere political autonomy and touches upon a spiritual state of being.
