Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of internet pornography by identifying its root cause in the materialistic ideals of modern society. He argues that it is impossible to have a society that defines a higher life, human ideals, and economic progress in purely material terms and not have pornography. All societal ideals, including capitalism, communism, and socialism, are fundamentally material. Progress is measured by material parameters like GDP for a country, assets for a family, and marks for a child. The speaker explains that this materialistic worldview sends a message to the youth that life is entirely about material achievements, which are supposed to bring success, peace, and contentment. Even the opposition to pornography is often based on material arguments. For instance, a young person is told to study instead of watching porn to get good marks, a good job, a good wife, and ultimately, good sex. This leads the youth to logically conclude that if the ultimate goal is sexual pleasure, it is more direct to obtain it through porn. Since all of life's ideals are presented as material, sexual pleasure, being the highest of material pleasures for many, becomes the primary pursuit. The only real solution, according to Acharya Prashant, is to offer something higher than material pleasure, which is spirituality. Without a spiritual dimension to life, pornography will persist. He uses the analogy of a soldier on the battlefield who, engaged in a higher cause, does not think of sex. Similarly, when one is engaged in a higher life, lower thoughts and desires naturally diminish. The thought of porn doesn't arise because one is occupied with something greater. He further links this issue to the institution of marriage, which, in a materialistic society, can become a legal, lifelong supply of porn, leading to problems like marital rape. The man who is a porn addict in his youth may become an exploitative husband. The fundamental problem is a wrong way of life. The solution is to live a fulfilling, purposeful life. When one is restless and bored, they seek release in such things. He advises channeling this inner tension into creative and constructive work. One must find the highest possible work according to their own understanding and dedicate themselves to it.
