Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of income inequality, stating it's a global trend, not just a problem within a specific company or sector. He points out that when the British left India, the income ratio between an average Briton and an Indian was 10:1, whereas today it is 20:1, indicating that Indians have become comparatively poorer since independence. He explains that all power and money are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, and this income disparity is growing rapidly worldwide to unprecedented levels. He highlights the injustice of this situation, where people die of starvation while the world's richest person is on the verge of becoming a trillionaire. He asserts that this is not a flaw in the system but its intended purpose. The system is a product of human beings who are born in ignorance and worship their desires, and therefore, the systems they create are designed to fulfill those desires. He states that the top 1% of the world's population owns about 40% of the wealth, while the bottom 50% owns only 2%. This disparity is even more pronounced in poorer countries, with India having higher income inequality than Europe and America. Acharya Prashant explains the cycle of wealth and power concentration: a politician needs money to win elections, which they get from capitalists. In return, the politician creates policies that help the capitalist earn more from the public. This wealth is then used to fund the politician and control the media, deceiving the public into voting for them. He emphasizes that this entire game revolves around money, not emotions, nationalism, or religion. He warns that the people idolized as role models are not good people and that the public is being deceived. He also links this issue to climate change, calling it a disease created by the rich, with the common person bearing the consequences. The ultimate solution, he argues, is not just formal education but self-knowledge (Atma-gyan). Without self-knowledge, people are easily fooled. He quotes the Gita, saying, "When the eyes are filled with desire, the truth is not seen." He urges the audience to stop respecting the wealthy and powerful and instead learn to disrespect them. The real solution lies in internal change, which is the path of spirituality.
