Acharya Prashant addresses the modern trend of using terms like "demotivating" and "body shaming" to avoid facing uncomfortable truths. He states that this is an "age of lies" where people prefer anything over the truth. Using a humorous example, he suggests that instead of calling someone fat, one might be expected to call them "gravitationally challenged." He clarifies that the intention behind speaking the truth is what matters. If the intent is to belittle someone, it is wrong. However, if a father, out of goodwill, tells his overweight daughter to exercise and control her diet for her health, it is not body shaming. He questions the logic of feeling ashamed to hear the truth about being overweight but not feeling ashamed of the condition itself. If hearing the truth is shameful, then being in that state should be even more so. He emphasizes that one should want to hear the direct truth, especially from professionals like doctors, judges, and teachers, whose duty it is to be truthful. A father's advice, given with goodwill, should be seen in the same light. He explains that he would want to be told directly if he were sick, rather than having the truth sugar-coated. The speaker then connects this phenomenon to the "motivation industry," which he describes as a steroid for blind desires. He argues that the market first instigates blind desires in people, and when they inevitably fall, it offers them "motivational shots" to keep them running in the same blind race. This is contrasted with the message of the Gita, where Shri Krishna motivates Arjun to fight not for personal dreams or an empire, but because it is the right thing to do. Acharya Prashant further illustrates his point with the story of "The Country of the Blind" by H.G. Wells. In the story, a sighted man named Nunez finds himself in a valley where everyone has been blind for generations and has forgotten what sight is. When he talks about sight, they consider him deranged and want to remove his eyes to make him "normal." He eventually escapes. The speaker uses this analogy to advise that one should not compromise on the truth to fit in with the unconscious masses. If you are awake among those who are asleep, you are in a position of power, not helplessness. He concludes by saying that if you are even partially awake, you should strive to become fully awake rather than trying to go back to sleep to conform with the unconscious majority.
