Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of social unrest and rioting, emphasizing that such incidents are not isolated acts but products of a larger ecosystem. He explains that active rioters are merely the visible tip of an iceberg, supported by a vast mass of passive toxicity and social acceptance. He argues that if society truly disapproved of such behavior, individuals would be socially ostracized and unable to continue. He points out that families and communities are often complicit, either by tolerating the behavior or benefiting from the proceeds of looting and corruption. This ecosystem is fueled by mass indoctrination through media and social platforms, which breeds insecurity and violence. He further explains that human violence is rooted in our biological nature as animals. Without the enlightening effect of wisdom literature like the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, humans remain driven by bodily instincts and self-centered ignorance. He defines ignorance not as a lack of information, but as a false identification with the body rather than the self. This ignorance is so powerful that it can even consume religion, turning a force meant for liberation into a justification for atrocities and wars. He notes that throughout history, more people have died in the name of religion than almost any other cause because the central purpose of spirituality—to defeat ignorance—is often lost. In response to questions about selective violence and conditioning, Acharya Prashant clarifies that individuals are not born as rioters but are conditioned by their environment and cultural elements. He asserts that violence exists in many forms, including subtle domestic conflicts and environmental pollution, all stemming from the same principle of the 'beast' within. He concludes that the only way to transcend this animalistic disposition and achieve true peace is through spiritual education and self-knowledge. Without understanding one's central identity, violence will persist in society, whether expressed crudely through physical harm or subtly through systemic exploitation.
