Acharya Prashant responds to a young student who asks if she should start reading Vedanta at her age, expressing doubt about her ability to understand it. He begins by stating that it is already too late for her to start, questioning how she could decide she wouldn't be able to digest it without even trying. He points out that she has not read any scriptures and yet has concluded that it might be too difficult or that she is too young. He illustrates his point by contrasting academic learning with spiritual study. He suggests that if there were a compulsory 20-credit course on the Upanishads, she would not only read them but also strive to secure an 'A' grade. This is because academic pursuits are linked to tangible outcomes like placements, money, and CGPA. The Bhagavad Gita, however, is not part of the curriculum, and employers do not ask about it. He explains that employers themselves are in deep delusion and do not know what to really look for in a candidate. Furthermore, a candidate who truly understands the right questions of life would likely not even appear for such interviews. He urges the student not to become another victim of this ecosystem, which will never drive her towards the Gita, Upanishads, or anything of real worth. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that as a mature adult, it is upon her to see that life is not just about the subjects in her courses. While he respects what is taught in institutions, he holds a greater respect for life and liberation from it. He explains that technology and profession are a very small part of who a person is; life is a much bigger affair. Life is not just about dealing with machines but, first and foremost, about dealing with oneself and addressing the deep inner need that waits to be addressed. When the student expresses concern about her ability to apply spiritual teachings, he counters by asking how much of her technical knowledge, like Fourier series or complex numbers, she has applied in her life. He notes that people study these subjects on trust, assuming their utility, but show great distrust towards spirituality, a distrust implanted by the ecosystem. He concludes by explaining that texts like the Gita and Upanishads are not about giving knowledge but about addressing the very person you are. He states that we do not know who we are, yet we operate with confidence as if we do, which is a dangerously precarious position. The texts of wisdom address this fundamental ignorance about our own existence. He reiterates that it is already late and encourages her to begin her spiritual journey immediately.
