He explains that wars are not started by entire populations but by rulers, often rising through democratic or semi-democratic systems. Acharya Ji points out how blind faith and personal emotions are given more respect than facts, which allows irrational beliefs and propaganda to dominate. He also connects compulsive consumption and climate change to inner emptiness, arguing that the environmental crisis is rooted in a deeper spiritual crisis. A true democracy, Acharya Ji emphasizes, must combine universal franchise with universal, meaningful education. This video is useful for those who want to understand the weaknesses of democracy, the dangers of blind faith, and the urgent need for education and critical thinking in today’s world. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b&nd=1&dlsi=2d753e5523df4ceb Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~~~~
