In “Wokey Cokey” self centred cultures the general population have to be surrendered and accepting otherwise “you’re toast ” and cancelled , that is the thinking behind the new age philosophies.  The aristocratic systems , some say , are similar persons may argue, but the reality is the genuine Aristocratic systems were far more accepting than the “Wokey Cokey ” new age libertine cultures. This is shown in the very broad Vedas and within the eighteen puranas .They teach ,  each to their own , but with purposes and progressions for cultural development and further awareness of scientific dualism and the systematic sciences of self realisation and self fulfilled lives , the Puranas are designed for purpose and stem from the breathing of Visnu.

Traditions and conserving cultures are the most valuable asset for humanity, they stem ultimately from Divinity Himself and have purposes.

. Mahātmānas tu māṁ pārtha daivīṁ prakṛtim āśritāḥ [Bg. 9.13].

[O son of Pṛthā, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because they know Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, original and inexhaustible.]

Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ.

bahūnāṁ janmanām ante
jñānavān māṁ prapadyate
vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti
sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ

[Bg. 7.19]

[After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.]

After many, many births, when a person is actually wise, jñānavān, perfectly in knowledge… What is that symptom of perfect knowledge? Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti: Kṛṣṇa is everything. That is perfection of knowledge. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti, prapadyate mām.

The following from Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami

“If I find out somebody supreme, then it is my duty to surrender unto him. Yes. But as soon as I surrender, I become mahātmā, liberal, not miser. Miser is thinking on his own account, “How much I’ll get? How much in my share?” And liberal means he has no more share; everything Kṛṣṇa’s. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ.“
