Acharya Prashant explains that the crisis of global warming is man-made, or anthropogenic. Therefore, it is not useful to talk about the problem without addressing the problem-creator, which is the human mind. The human mind created this problem because it has a fundamental design flaw. Humans are born enveloped in ignorance, which is infested with certain malicious tendencies. This ignorance displays itself in everything we do throughout our lives. Today, humanity possesses more material and destructive power than ever before. This power, combined with the mind's inherent flaws—such as tendencies for accumulation, consumption, violence, and fear—creates a deadly combination. This has led to the gruesome specter of biodiversity loss, ecological catastrophe, the total vandalization of nature (Prakriti), and climate change. These issues cannot be resolved by merely discussing the problems themselves; one must delve into the human mind. Unless the mind of man is addressed, understood, and purified, these problems will persist. We might manage one form of a problem, but the underlying root cause, the mother problem, will remain and manifest in another way. Continuing to solve problems superficially is a great time-pass that allows us to feel good about ourselves while evading the real issue. No problem is ever truly solved until its root is addressed, much like treating the symptoms of cancer while the root of the disease remains and metastasizes. The root of all problems is what is called "Aham Vritti," the tendency of the ego. The entire scripture of the Bhagavad Gita and the domain of Vedanta are devoted to addressing this one thing. They aim to placate this primordial tendency, the "ancient animal within man." Outwardly, we may appear cultured and civilized, but inwardly we carry this ancient animal, which now wields modern technology in a far more powerful and destructive way, yet desires the same things as animals in the jungle. The Bhagavad Gita acts as a circuit breaker or an intruder, disrupting our flawed natural design. As we are born, we are not predisposed towards truth or liberation but are designed to remain in bondage and suffering. The Gita seeks to do something against our natural (Prakritik) constitution. All problems, inner and outer, are one because the problem-creator is one. Therefore, unless there is wisdom education in families, schools, and universities to uplift the wisdom quotient of the population, we will continue to hop from one problem to the next, blissfully ignorant of our own selves.
