Acharya Prashant explains that he is inwardly quite stubborn and finds it very difficult to lie to himself. He cannot ignore things he sees as unjust or simply carry on with his own business. He states that he had seen very conclusively that things are not fair, people are suffering, and that we are very wicked and stupid people who continue to inflict nonsense on ourselves. This realization brought about a dual feeling: on one hand, he commiserated with the lot of mankind, and on the other, he was quite angry at what we do to ourselves, recognizing that the misery is self-inflicted. He felt it was a matter of inner dignity to fight this situation, as one cannot lie to oneself. He elaborates that the misery is self-inflicted because while we are in all kinds of external messes, the root cause is a lot of internal darkness. He explains that he was already aware of the potential and limitations of external solutions. Having studied at IIT and being well-read, he knew the wonders and possibilities of science, technology, economics, finance, and capitalism. However, he also knew their limitations and could clearly see what technology and economics cannot achieve. He observed that even where these fields have bloomed to their fullest, deception, falseness, and misery still exist. This led him to the logical conclusion that purely technical or economic solutions cannot resolve the human condition. To be free of the 'inner cage,' he reasoned that there has to be something that takes us within, which is why he turned to the Upanishads. He emphasizes that this was a logical step, not an act of devotion or mysticism. We suffer not from a lack of technology or money, but from a lack in the heart. Therefore, the obvious conclusion was to take wisdom literature to the masses. His concern is for the human being, the 'little sparrow,' which he believes cannot be taken care of unless we go to the Gita. He clarifies that he is not a religious preacher converting people, but is concerned with the face of the human being, which can be addressed through the wisdom of the scriptures.
