Acharya Prashant addresses the anxiety that arises from feeling powerless against large-scale collective problems, such as environmental damage. He suggests two ways to respond to this anxious feeling. The first is to challenge the assumption that individual action is futile. He reframes the issue, stating that the problem is not caused by numerous individual actions but by a single, shared root ignorance, which he refers to as 'Avidya' or 'Maya'. Therefore, the struggle is not one of 'too many versus too few' but of 'ignorance versus light or clarity'. The goal is to be on the side of light, regardless of the numbers, as the opposing side is one of darkness. To illustrate this point, he uses historical and mythological examples. He mentions that just as a few wretched individuals like Hitler can cause immense destruction, a few good people can also bring about great positive change. The speaker explains the concept of 'nodes of evil,' like Ravan, who was a single powerful entity that needed to be eliminated to cure the world of evil. He compares this to an electromagnet that magnetizes ordinary pieces of iron; the nodes of evil induce others to become evil. Conversely, he posits that there can be nodes of goodness that can turn demons back into human beings. The problem is not that everyone is evil, but that they are victims of conditioning, hypnotized by a powerful, evil electromagnet. The solution is to break this spell. Secondly, Acharya Prashant advises against being preoccupied with the outcome of the fight. He argues that the cynicism and demotivation that lead one to believe their efforts are pointless are themselves products of ignorance. He emphasizes that even if victory is not guaranteed, the battle itself is worth fighting. There is glory in a life well-spent and a death well-deserved in a righteous cause. He refers to the Bhagavad Gita, where Shri Krishna never assures Arjun of victory but insists that he must fight the right battle. The fight is for its own sake, not for the outcome. Even if Arjun had been martyred, the value of the Gita would not diminish. The attempt itself, made with love and honesty, is sufficient. Victory is possible, but even if one cannot win, the battle is worth it.
