Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of violence against doctors, contrasting it with the reverence shown to quacks and charlatans. He explains that this difference in attitude stems from the common person's dualistic philosophy, which posits that the greatest power in the world is an otherworldly force, residing somewhere in the heavens. This power is believed to control everything and can be trusted completely. Consequently, anything belonging to this physical world is considered flawed and unreliable. This dualistic worldview leads people to trust quacks, who claim a direct, unverifiable connection to a higher power. These charlatans, without any degrees or qualifications, assert that they can cure not with medicine but with prayers and blessings. Their claims are unfalsifiable; one cannot prove their supposed connection to the divine is non-existent. If questioned, they might threaten with a curse. In contrast, a doctor's knowledge is based on science, which is verifiable but also fallible. A doctor's diagnosis can be proven wrong, making them seem less divine and more accountable, which in a superstitious society, can lead to violence when treatments fail. The speaker argues that this belief system, which he calls escapism and other-worldliness, is a form of pollution in Vedanta. It encourages people to endure a wretched life with the false hope of rewards in the afterlife, a notion often reinforced by popular culture. This mindset makes people irresponsible, as they attribute everything to fate or a higher power. He contrasts this with the philosophy of the Gita, which emphasizes self-effort, stating, "Hari will manifest within, if you yourself fight." The responsibility for one's life lies with oneself. The world is what one perceives through their senses; therefore, the world is created by the individual, and the responsibility to manage it is also theirs alone.
