Acharya Prashant explains that scriptures are not the truth itself but rather tools or medicines designed to facilitate seeing. He clarifies that scriptures aim to clear falseness rather than describe an objective reality called 'truth.' Using the analogy of a matchstick, he describes how scriptures are meant to burn the rubbish accumulated in the mind and then disappear, rather than becoming a new form of mental baggage. He emphasizes that the ego often mistakenly searches for truth as an object, which is a misleading pursuit because truth is what remains when falseness is removed.
