Acharya Prashant addresses the persistence of systemic oppression, such as casteism and patriarchy, by highlighting that no system can survive without the passive or active support of those it oppresses. He calculates that the oppressed classes, including women and various castes, constitute approximately eighty-seven percent of the population. He argues that such a vast majority could only be kept in subjugation through the perpetuation of inner ignorance and the belief that their suffering is divinely ordained or a result of past sins. This inner slavery prevents revolution because the individuals become contributors to their own enslavement. Therefore, he asserts that the elimination of inner ignorance through self-knowledge is the essential first step for any real change. He further explains that structural change is impossible without individual transformation because structures are unconscious entities created by humans. Blaming the system is often a way to abdicate personal responsibility. He emphasizes that the onus is on the individual to understand the reasons for their suffering and to rise against it. Regarding scriptures, Acharya Prashant clarifies that they should not be discarded entirely but must be approached with discrimination. He defines true scripture as that which addresses the fundamental human condition and the path to freedom from suffering, rather than books that merely demand belief in stories or historical claims. He concludes that any social or structural improvement must begin with the individual's own life and radiate outwards, as the world remains a reflection of the conscious entities within it.
