Acharya Prashant addresses the root cause of mass slaughters and conflicts, using the Israel-Hamas war as a context. He acknowledges the various narratives used to frame the conflict: a fight between a country and an organization, between two religions, between civilizations, between developed and underdeveloped nations, or between colonizers and the colonized. He adds another perspective: a conflict between a technologically advanced group and a primitive one. However, he asserts that these are all macro-level views that obscure the fundamental truth. The core of his argument is that all conflicts are essentially a fight between one human and another. There is something within the human being that compels them to be in constant conflict. Until this is understood, and every conflict is seen as a struggle between individuals, these tragedies will not cease. He compares the geopolitical struggle to a family dispute over ancestral property, where both sides feel justified, highlighting that the same dynamic is at play in every household. The real actors are individuals, and their collective will drives these actions. For instance, the Israeli military's actions are funded by its people's taxes and carried out by its citizens. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that the root of all violence and hatred lies within the human mind. Superficial solutions like policies or peace accords will fail as long as the human heart is not changed. Hatred, like a cancer cell, metastasizes; killing one person does not eliminate the hatred that will inspire others. The only true solution is to change the human mind, which is the essence of Dharma. Dharma means knowing oneself and, from that understanding, knowing the right way to live. Violence occurs due to the absence of Dharma. People who blame religion for conflicts misunderstand its true meaning, which is to question one's own beliefs. The human tendency is to fight, using various justifications like religion or nationalism. The core issue is the impure intention of the human heart, and until that is purified, violence will persist.
