Acharya Prashant explains that we tend to recognize abuse only when it is explicit and physical. He argues that explicit abuse, such as a slap, is more honest because it sends a clear, undisguised message. In contrast, a far more rampant, evil, and poisonous form of abuse occurs daily in our workplaces, homes, and is even the bedrock of our civilization and culture, yet we fail to recognize it as abuse. He points out that society is highly body-centric. We raise a justifiable hue and cry when the body is physically offended or penetrated. However, when the mind is serially abused in institutions like schools, colleges, universities, homes, and places of worship, we do not bat an eyelid. He challenges the listener to consider not only past abuse but also the abuse they might be undergoing in the present. He uses the example of children being mentally abused through their education and curriculum, which he terms the 'rape of the mind'. The speaker defines the 'rape of the mind' as when the mind is filled with nonsensical purposes or is dominated by past events. He states that the mind needs a 'lover'—a rightful, solitary purpose. When the mind fails to connect with this purpose, it falls into the hands of 'rapists,' which are the various distractions and worldly concerns. He defines rape as someone entering a place they should not have, and in this sense, when the entire world enters and plunders the mind, it is being raped. He concludes by highlighting the hypocrisy of being concerned about the ego getting hurt but not about the mind being defiled. The mind's solitary, rightful purpose should be to move towards the 'solitary one,' its true lover. When one is engaged with any other kind of nonsense, they are inflicting rape upon themselves. The fact that this whole social machinery has entered our inner sanctum and is defiling it should be a matter of great concern.
