Description

Acharya Prashant begins by quoting a line from the film Mughal-e-Azam: "When there is no veil from God, why veil from people?" He uses this to illustrate the importance of being fearless. He then addresses a question about a partner's dismissive attitude towards climate change. The speaker explains that what people call "positive" is often what suits their self-interest, and what they call "negative" is what doesn't. He gives the example of delayed snowfall: for a tourist, it's a minor issue, but for a farmer whose crops depend on it, it's a disaster. This highlights that such a "positive" outlook is rooted in selfishness and ignorance. The person who dismisses the delayed snowfall is not only selfish but also illiterate about the connection between snowfall and rainfall, which affects agriculture. The speaker advises being very cautious in relationships. He states that a person's views on topics like the economy, environment, history, philosophy, and politics are not minor matters. These things should not be ignored, especially in the heat of youth or the greed for income, as they will become the most significant issues later. He gives an example: if you are on a date with someone who eats lamb roast or chicken soup, that person will chew you up just the same. Similarly, if someone objects to you tipping a waiter a hundred rupees while you are paying for their expensive dinner, it reveals their selfish nature. He recounts an incident where a girl on a scooter hit an old man on a bicycle. About fifteen people rushed to help the girl, showing compassion for her, but no one helped the old man. The speaker questions why this compassion arises only when looking at self-interest. He clarifies that compassion is not emotionality. Emotion arises from the animalistic nature of the body, whereas compassion arises from the heights of consciousness. If emotion is mixed with compassion, it is not compassion but selfishness. He further explains that if someone breaks a relationship with you because you no longer engage in filth, you must ask yourself if they loved you or the filth. They never really loved you. We often give shelter and support to foolish and beastly people, and we must stop this. We should block and boycott those who are beastly. When you are with someone, you must discuss all topics, from business and love to the world. Talk about climate change, biodiversity loss, and politics. If the other person is not interested in these topics, how did you form a relationship with them? The speaker concludes by stating that one should not be afraid to discuss important matters with their partners, as these discussions reveal the true nature of the person.
