Acharya Prashant explains that traditions are established by wise individuals because the subtle truth is often beyond the grasp of the common person. These traditions serve as a simplified, more digestible presentation of truth, intended to help individuals move from the gross to the subtle. He argues that while traditions may be forcefully passed down, there is never an instruction to avoid understanding their core symbolic meaning. He suggests that blaming the founders of traditions for our own lack of understanding is unjust, as these sages provided selfless gifts of knowledge without seeking personal gain. If one finds traditions diluted, they are free to pursue the direct path of knowledge, yet many choose traditions because the direct path is difficult. Ultimately, he emphasizes that if we cannot produce the same insightful output as the sages, we must acknowledge their superior dimension and focus on learning from them rather than blaming them for our inability to decipher their teachings.
