Acharya Prashant states that the Earth is currently passing through a very delicate period, rapidly heading towards a state of immense destruction. The people responsible for this are very powerful. All the world's resources are in the hands of a few. For instance, the 50 richest people in America possess as much wealth as the remaining half of America, which is about 16.5 crore people. There are a handful of people who hold immense power. To counter this, the speaker provides a few examples. If someone is at 99, how do you get past them? The two biggest digits, 9 and 9, are already taken. You cannot surpass them with numbers from 1 to 8. You have to take the help of zero. If they have 9, you become 100 to get past them. This is about changing the plane of existence. He gives two examples from very different directions: one of violence and the other of non-violence. He mentions Mahatma Gandhi and Guru Gobind Singh. The British Empire, where the sun never set, was challenged by a naked leader of a poor country. How did he do it? All the resources were with the British. Similarly, Guru Gobind Singh said that one of his followers would fight 1.25 lakh enemies. How is this possible? It's not just about resources; there is a hidden resource. This is why spirituality is necessary. The world is caught in the loop of 7, 8, and 9. You can defeat the world by becoming 1 and 0. In the battle between truth and falsehood, the numbers are always with falsehood. In the conflict between Ram and Ravan, whose army was bigger? Who had more gold? Whose kingdom was bigger? Ravan had more of everything, even knowledge. How did Ram win? In the battle between the Kauravas and Pandavas, whose army was bigger? The great warriors were all on the other side. When you enter the battle saying, 'We don't know if we will win or lose, but this fight is necessary,' then sometimes the unexpected happens. It is not necessary that it will happen. If it were necessary that truth would always win against falsehood, then it would be a cheap truth. Then everyone would stand with the truth, knowing it's a fixed match. That is why truth often loses, so that only the true, brave, and carefree people can come with the truth. There should be no guarantee or assurance of truth's victory. There should be love for the cause, a love that says, 'Whether it wins or loses, we have to be with it.'
