Acharya Prashant asks the audience to contemplate what it means to spend fourteen years in the wilderness. He highlights that Shri Ram, the Crown Prince (Yuvraj), was dispatched to the forest, a situation that sounds unacceptable to us. However, Shri Ram lived it with unequaled grace and poise, never complaining and using those fourteen years to the maximum. He fought the most powerful force of his time, Dashanan, who was said to have incarcerated even the gods and goddesses. Shri Ram, an outcast serving a sentence, fought almost empty-handed. The speaker declares, "That's my Ram." To worship Shri Ram, the speaker asserts, one needs to have at least one percent of him in oneself. He contrasts Shri Ram's sacrifice with modern comforts, questioning if anyone today would spend 51 days in the Amazon without gadgets, especially on the eve of their coronation. He notes that our securities and comforts rebel against such a thought, yet Shri Ram lived it out in the most humane, just, and compassionate way possible, without ever complaining. He ended those fourteen years by bringing down the mightiest empire of his time, making him a "superhero." The speaker then critiques how Diwali is celebrated today. He questions why people enjoy sweets like rasgulla, rabri, and soan papdi on a day dedicated to Shri Ram, who did not indulge in such things. He concludes that this is because "we are very, very small and little and petty people who want just an excuse to further their dirty instincts of consumption." He states that for many, Diwali has become just another occasion for an "explosion of consumption."
