Acharya Prashant addresses the common concern regarding what would happen to society if everyone followed the path of spiritual awakening or liberation. He points out that when people ask about the welfare of society, they are often masking their own fear of change and their deep-seated conditioning. He observes that individuals are so dominated by social structures that even when considering their own freedom, they worry about the continuity of the current social order. He argues that true social welfare has always originated from awakened individuals, or Buddhas, who did not worry about societal consequences but simply lived in truth. Using the analogy of a world of blind people, Acharya Prashant questions why anyone would view the prospect of everyone gaining sight as a tragedy. He shares a story of an enslaved man who refused to escape because he felt a duty to his master and worried about who would serve the masters if all slaves were freed. This illustrates how people seek permission from the very society that imprisons them before attempting to change. He concludes that the fear of a world without ignorance is merely an excuse to maintain the status quo. He asserts that if a world built on foolishness and exploitation were to collapse because people became wise, it would be better for such a world to end rather than continue out of mere habit.
