Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why 95% of the world's wealth is held by a small percentage of people, despite the existence of many talented and educated individuals. He explains that this apparent contradiction stems from two false assumptions: firstly, that wealth goes to those with talent, and secondly, that talented people desire wealth. He asserts that it is a delusion to believe the world operates on merit, knowledge, or ability, and this delusion must be dispelled. The speaker clarifies that in this world, it is often the most fallen who ascend to the highest positions, while the truly elevated have no desire for worldly thrones. Wealth is accumulated only by those who are completely empty inside; the more restless and hollow a person is, the more they will strive to gather money. He contrasts this with states of love and joy, where one does not think of counting notes or checking bank balances. A life spent merely accumulating wealth is a life devoid of love, akin to being dead. Acharya Prashant redefines poverty, stating that a poor person is not one who lacks money, but one who constantly desires more. By this logic, the so-called rich, who always want more, are the poorest and most pitiable. They are not worthy of admiration but of compassion, like wailing children collecting toys because they lack their mother's presence. Having not known themselves or the Supreme, they chase external things like fame and money. The truly wise and meritorious person does not wish to accumulate vast wealth. He illustrates this with a story of Jesus, who, when offered a pile of coins, took only a single copper coin, deeming it sufficient for his immediate need. The wise person only wants enough to get by. The real wealth is the immeasurable bliss of being one with existence, which cannot be stolen or counted. Acharya Prashant concludes that the world is upside down, idolizing the fallen. He advises against blindly following them and instead encourages observing their desolate lives with one's own intelligence.
