Description

Acharya Prashant explains that only the truth is truly Sanatana, referring to that which is timeless and beyond the reach of the mind, concepts, or words. He notes that while the mind is constantly in flux and searching within the realm of time, it can never be quenched by anything it can grasp. This leads to the understanding that the fundamental human tendency is a constant restlessness and a search for something beyond itself. He clarifies that while we mostly experience time-bound emotions like attraction, repulsion, happiness, and sorrow, the objective of Dharma is to find peace by looking beyond these daily obsessions. Sanatana Dharma, therefore, is the responsibility to seek that which is beyond the individual self, addressing the core questions of identity and right action.
