Acharya Prashant addresses the prevalence of misconceptions and superstitions in society, attributing them to a lack of both scientific and spiritual literacy. He critiques the misuse of scientific terms like 'vibrations' and 'energy' by those who do not understand physics, noting that people often enjoy the fruits of technology while remaining contemptuous of the science behind it. He emphasizes that true education requires both 'Vidya' (inner education or spirituality) and 'Avidya' (outer education or science) to avoid ignorance. He points out that many religious festivals have lost their original meaning and have been reduced to mere consumerism or ritualistic slaughter because people prefer belief over inquiry.
