Acharya Prashant responds to the idea that one can find God through family life. He begins by sarcastically agreeing with the notion that everything that happens is God's will. He gives examples of how this belief is used to justify suffering and injustice: a girl married at 15 who dies in childbirth at 16 is said to have been called by God; a person born into a lower caste is told it is God's will for them to clean filth their entire life. He clarifies that he has never asked anyone to leave their home; on the contrary, he has helped bring love and harmony to homes that were falling apart. The core of his argument is questioning why people attribute their own actions (kartoot) to God (Prabhu). He challenges the questioner, asking if God is responsible for their personal choices, such as choosing a spouse based on caste and dowry, or having numerous children, including the act of female feticide. He points out the hypocrisy of engaging in corrupt business practices, slaughtering animals for meat export (citing India's status as a major beef exporter), and then claiming it is all God's will. He explains that he advocates for living a life of truth, which includes having truthfulness in relationships. When people's homes are filled with the stench of lies and deceit, they find it easier to blame God rather than take responsibility. He states that he encourages people to take responsibility for their lives and to come out of the situations they are needlessly stuck in, which requires courage and a willingness to face pain. Acharya Prashant explains that people avoid taking responsibility by claiming, "I am not the doer; God is the doer." He clarifies that Truth is the non-doer (Akarta), but this doesn't absolve individuals of their personal accountability. He introduces the concept of Prakriti (Nature) and its laws, suggesting that at most, one could say God established the laws of nature, but what individuals do within that framework is their own choice. He criticizes the teaching that one should just continue with their life as it is and perform rituals, calling it a way to avoid the struggle for a better, truer life. He uses the analogy of ragging in college to illustrate how suffering is perpetuated: those who were ragged feel justified in ragging their juniors, creating a cycle of abuse. Similarly, people pass down their suffering to their children, believing it is tradition or God's will. He concludes by urging people to take responsibility for their actions and not hide behind the excuse of "God's will."
