A questioner expresses his distress and fear upon witnessing a dominant person scolding or hitting a weaker one, wondering if this is due to his emotional nature or past experiences. Acharya Prashant responds by explaining that the questioner's anger arises from seeing a manifest form of selfishness. He points out that the questioner does not feel the same agitation when seeing animals fight, as it seems normal, but with humans, he perceives it as intentional and selfish. The speaker then highlights that there are also unmanifest, subtle forms of selfishness, such as flattery or the allure of the marketplace, which do not provoke the same anger in the questioner, yet are also forms of exploitation. Acharya Prashant elaborates that overt, manifest violence has decreased in modern society. However, because we do not understand the root of violence, it has become more clever and subtle. The old-fashioned hero who fights against obvious injustice is no longer relevant because the cruelty is now hidden. He provides examples of this subtle exploitation in various societal institutions. A five-star hospital, for instance, is a form of exploitation. The education system is designed not for a child's self-development but to turn them into a cog for society's use. Similarly, marriage, while celebrated, can be a site of exploitation. He argues that the entire economic system is a form of plunder, where one's life is looted daily, but we only notice the small, overt thefts. He asserts that the old style of idealism is insufficient for these new challenges. To see the subtle injustices, one needs a new, subtle eye, which is attained through spirituality. Spirituality is not about the afterlife but about not being a fool in this world, which is designed to deceive and exploit. The true benefit of spirituality is that it saves one from being looted in this life. He references the Upanishads, stating their core teaching is to learn to say "no" to the world, as the world constantly seeks your consent to exploit you. A customer (grahak) is one who is ready to receive (grahan), and one must be discerning about what one says "yes" to, as that is where one is looted. Acharya Prashant concludes by contrasting the protest against the overt issue of dowry with the silent acceptance of giving away one's entire life in a marriage, which is a far greater, though more subtle, form of exploitation. He urges the questioner to see the bigger picture, to understand the fundamental ways life is being ruined, and by whom. He emphasizes that the man of today is a bigger slave than ever before, but this slavery is now subtle and often goes unnoticed. The need is to develop the spiritual insight to recognize and fight against these hidden forms of violence and exploitation.
