Acharya Prashant explains that living a meaningful life requires connecting with that which is not a product of the human mind or social influence. He argues that culture, values, and traditions are constantly changing and are often man-made products of thought and conditioning. Because these elements are time-dependent and regional, they cannot provide the deepest inner assurance or peace. In contrast, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita point toward the absolute truth, which is timeless and unchangeable. He emphasizes that the purpose of spirituality is to give one rest in this unchangeable truth rather than in shifting social customs.
