Acharya Prashant clarifies that consciousness is not a static entity but a continuous flow of mental activity, thoughts, and ideas. He dismisses the notion of a collective transformation of consciousness, asserting that transformation is always an individual phenomenon. He argues that the perceived increase in spirituality in modern times is actually a sign of its absence, as true spirituality does not conform to preset images or mass recognition. Real spiritual flowering is often solitary and unrecognized by the masses until long after the individual is gone. He emphasizes that the current ease of access to spiritual texts via the internet does not equate to genuine spiritual progress, as the mind often interprets these teachings to serve its own petty interests and conditioned patterns.
