Acharya Prashant begins by using an analogy of a small, innocent puppy that bites someone and gives them rabies. He questions how something so cute could cause such harm, suggesting that something must have gone wrong along the way. He then relates this to human relationships, urging the listener to honestly ask themselves if they are giving their love or their virus to the ones they truly care for. He points out that everyone was once a small, innocent child and questions how they became the person they are today. He suggests reflecting on this by comparing a childhood photograph with a current one, labeling the former as "me" and the latter as "the virus." The speaker then explains a verse by Kabir Saheb: "There are thieves inside the body, sitting in ambush." To illustrate this, he discusses the issue of stray dogs and rabies, noting that India has the highest number of rabies-related deaths in the world, with 30-40% of global fatalities occurring there. He explains that a rabid dog bites not of its own volition but because the virus compels it to. The virus, which can only spread through saliva, takes over the dog's brain and forces it to bite to find a new host. The dog gains nothing and dies, while the virus propagates. The speaker asserts that the dog did not bite; the virus did. He draws a parallel to human actions, stating that we are not the doers; a thief within us is making us act. This thief is the virus of our conditioning. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that the virus is cunning; it hides its symptoms until it has completely taken over, making a cure nearly impossible once symptoms manifest. Similarly, the conditioning within us, which he calls a virus, is not our own. It is a foreign element that has entered us and now controls our behavior for its own benefit, often leading to our destruction. He explains that this is how we become possessed. He connects this to love, stating that we often spread our mental viruses—like anger and beliefs—to those closest to us, especially our children. The speaker concludes by reiterating that our behavior is not truly ours but is dictated by the virus within, which thrives on our ruin.
