Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why, in cases of rape and murder, the act of rape often receives more attention than the murder itself. He explains that this is a recurring pattern because society tends to view women not as human beings, but through the lens of their physical and sexual identity. It is the "womanness" that captures attention in a disturbing way, rather than the tragic loss of a precious human life. He asserts that this sexualized gaze is pathetic and reveals more about the observer than the victim. No crime occurs in isolation; the perpetrator is a product of a larger society where the social gaze itself is sexual, creating a breeding ground for such violent crimes. The speaker argues that the root of this issue lies in a flawed societal philosophy centered on pleasure and consumption. He illustrates this by noting that common life goals often revolve around acquiring wealth and status (symbolized by a good job and a large house) to enjoy life's "goodies," among which the female body is often counted. This indoctrination, starting from a young age, promotes the idea that life's purpose is to relish pleasure at any cost. If this pleasure cannot be obtained legally, such as through marriage, individuals may resort to breaking the law to acquire it. He draws a parallel between the so-called honest man who works to consume and the robber who plunders to consume, questioning if their fundamental motivation is truly different. Acharya Prashant brings in spiritual perspectives to deepen the analysis. He quotes Shri Ramakrishna Paramhans, who identified the two primary objectives for the common man as 'Kanchan' (gold or money) and 'Kamini' (a desirable woman or sex), noting that these two are deeply intertwined. He also cites a couplet from Kabir Saheb, which contrasts the seasonal biological urge of a dog with the perpetually lustful nature of a man, which is not biological but a mental construct fueled by social conditioning. This conditioning constantly sexualizes the female body and promotes a relentless pursuit of pleasure. He concludes that the desire for sex in society is not merely a bodily need but a mental one, artificially inflated by the philosophy that one exists to consume. As long as this mindset of seeking pleasure at any cost persists, rape in all its forms—whether against women or the planet—will continue. He points out that many people only refrain from law-breaking due to fear of punishment, not because their underlying philosophy has changed. Therefore, the solution is not just stricter laws but a fundamental shift away from this destructive, consumerist worldview.
