Acharya Prashant explains that being born in human form or possessing worldly knowledge does not truly make one human. True humanity arises from understanding one's own existential reality and consciousness, which is the only thing that distinguishes humans from animals. He argues that modern education neglects this self-knowledge, leaving individuals vulnerable to their own tendencies and worldly appearances. Instead of self-understanding, people are governed by blind conditioning from the past, which is often proudly labeled as culture. This conditioning dictates how individuals behave toward others based on religion, caste, or gender, replacing a lively process of exploration with ready-made, unverified answers. He further discusses how this conditioning gains a false sense of sacredness through its association with religious scriptures. In the context of Hinduism, he points out the confusion caused by the existence of hundreds of books, where many people fail to identify the central canonical scripture. This lack of clarity allows outdated or mediocre documents to be treated as sacred, even when they promote obnoxious beliefs like caste discrimination. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that while we are educated in technology, science, and arts, we remain internally uneducated about the nature of the self and existence. He concludes that without genuine education of the self and a proper understanding of scriptures, blind beliefs and exploitative cultural practices will continue to persist.
