Acharya Prashant explains that culture is time-bound and must evolve with time, as evidenced by the historical abolition of practices like the caste system, child marriage, and the burning of widows. He emphasizes that while truth is timeless and absolute, culture and traditions are not sacred or holy in themselves. Culture should always be refined with a view toward the truth and should serve as a follower of the truth rather than being placed in an absolute position. He notes that the Upanishads and great poets focused on truth rather than culture, and he warns against the current trend of equating culture with religion. He further clarifies that traditions only have life when they point toward the truth and are understood meaningfully rather than obeyed blindly or ritualistically. Acharya Prashant suggests that new traditions can and should be started to suit the current environment and society, just as old ones can be reformed or disposed of when they lose their utility. He cautions against the pseudoscientific practice of superimposing fake meanings onto random traditions. Ultimately, he asserts that if a tradition lacks real meaning, it should be dropped, as there is no value in carrying a dead load over centuries.
