Acharya Prashant explains that literature is a reflection of the mind, and just as there are two types of people, there are two types of literature. He strongly criticizes fiction, labeling it as nonsense because it fills the mind with more imagination and mental clutter when the goal of life should be to get rid of such fictions. He asserts that writing a book does not make someone a worthy author; often, books are merely the 'garbage' of a person's mind expressed through good language. He suggests that most books in bookstores are useless and that a mind filled with truth would not hesitate to discard or even destroy literature that corrupts human consciousness.
