Acharya Prashant begins by addressing the urgency of the climate crisis, noting that while inner transformation processes can be long, the situation is dire. He states that it is not really so that inner transformation will necessarily take a long time. He points out that the climate catastrophe is not new information; we have known about it for at least four decades, yet the crisis has only worsened, with the rate of deterioration accelerating. He questions the continued confidence in conventional methods like legislation and regulation, which have proven to be failures. Apart from the inner transformation route, we have tried everything else. He posits that the spiritual root is the only viable path remaining. He clarifies that this is not about esoteric methods or paranormal energies, but about a correct diagnosis of the problem. The climate crisis, he argues, is not an external issue but a crisis within us. It is a manifestation of a sickness in our very hearts, our collective mind, or what he calls the soul of humanity. This sickness is a lack of self-knowledge and a true purpose in life. This void leads to meaningless lives, endless consumption, procreation, and the pursuit of power and freedom, all of which have a huge carbon footprint. The climate crisis is a tangible representation of the sickness in our personality and a crisis of the inadequate and false philosophies we have based our lives on. Acharya Prashant asserts that the climate crisis is a crisis of insane consumerism, which stems from not knowing what to do with our lives. He argues that the spiritual approach is scientific and logical, as a right diagnosis is a prerequisite for any successful treatment. He believes that if people are shown the total picture, which includes their own face, they will be more interested in tackling the crisis due to their inherent selfishness. The climate crisis is a crisis inside of us, not outside of us. The only remaining option is the spiritual one, and since it's the only one left, it must be considered the easiest.
