Acharya Prashant explains the distinction between the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus, noting that Jesus provided a new message because the old laws were suited to a less developed society. He emphasizes that while the essence of meditation remains the same, its expression varies based on the social context and the evolution of human consciousness. He compares this to the relationship between the early Vedas and the Upanishads, where the latter represents the ultimate height of wisdom, moving beyond rituals to pure spiritual knowledge. He describes human consciousness as being rooted in ancient animalistic tendencies that require gradual purification through the pure water of the soul. The harsh punishments mentioned in the Old Testament were primitive attempts to maintain order and justice, which eventually became outdated. Jesus refined these concepts, shifting the focus from external punishment to internal purity. Acharya Prashant asserts that for Truth to be useful to those living in time, it must be expressed in a contemporary manner, which is why new teachers like Kabir Saheb and the Sikh Gurus are necessary to update spiritual guidance. Regarding adultery, he explains that the root of the issue is duality. While old laws forbade taking what belongs to another, a refined spiritual understanding recognizes that the sense of otherness itself is the problem. True non-duality involves transcending the body-vision and realizing the soul, which is neither male nor female. He concludes that ancient scriptures are like glorious old monuments; they deserve respect and preservation, but for daily life, one needs a living, contemporary spiritual guide that provides practical support and a path out of the mire of ignorance.
