Acharya Prashant explains that it is easy to become a rebel against tradition because tradition demands discipline, which the mind naturally resists. Instead of admitting a lack of self-strength or love to follow rules, people often dismiss tradition as rotten or outdated. He suggests a different approach: first, investigate why a tradition has lasted so long, as time usually destroys everything that lacks substance. One should act as an investigator to find the original, pure essence hidden beneath the dust of time. Most traditions have a core of truth and purity that has become distorted over centuries. The duty is not to discard the tradition but to clean it, restore its original meaning, and give it new context relevant to the present day.
