Acharya Prashant addresses the justification of violence by first acknowledging that some people even call Shri Krishna violent for the Mahabharata war. He explains that such misunderstandings arise when the true meaning of violence is not understood. He clarifies that the Mahabharata repeatedly states, "Ahimsa Paramo Dharma" (Non-violence is the highest Dharma). He points out that some people have fabricated the phrase "Dharma Himsa Tathaiva Cha" (Violence for Dharma is also Dharma) and falsely attributed it to the Mahabharata. The speaker condemns such individuals, stating they have no respect for the scriptures and are willing to distort them for their own agendas. He then defines violence based on the subject. For an animal, which is essentially its body, violence is causing bodily harm. However, a human is consciousness, so violence against a human is the harm of their consciousness, which means keeping it in bondage. Consequently, non-violence towards a human is to aid in the liberation of their consciousness. The goal of life is the liberation of consciousness, and the loss of consciousness is violence. For a human, the body is secondary to consciousness. Applying this principle, Acharya Prashant explains that Shri Krishna's actions in the Mahabharata were aimed at the liberation of consciousness, not bodily harm. Under the circumstances, war was necessary for this liberation, making it an act of supreme non-violence. Not fighting would have been the real violence, as it would have allowed Duryodhana's unrighteousness to prevail, keeping everyone's consciousness in bondage. He emphasizes that for humans, the highest non-violence is doing whatever is necessary for the liberation of consciousness, even if it requires sacrificing the body. He concludes by quoting Kabir Saheb on hypocrisy: "Rosary in hand, scissors in the stomach, and reading the Bhagavad Gita."
