Acharya Prashant addresses the profound distress caused by witnessing global suffering, specifically the mass slaughter of animals, environmental destruction, and the climate crisis. He acknowledges the gravity of these issues, noting that for a conscious person, the world can appear like a living hell where every action seems tainted by some form of harm. However, he emphasizes that one must treat happiness and mental well-being as a duty or a religious obligation rather than a luxury. If an individual allows the world's misery to overwhelm them completely, they lose the capacity to work toward any solution or help others. To be effective in fighting these systemic evils, one must maintain enough personal health and sanity to remain functional.
