Acharya Prashant explains that the primary relationship of non-violence (Ahimsa) is not with one's behavior towards others, but with oneself and one's own mind. He states that everyone desires to live in peace, and non-violence is the way of living that allows one to attain a deep and unshakable peace. This begins with being a well-wisher to oneself. Violence (Himsa), conversely, is when one acts against one's own interests, causing self-inflicted pain and suffering. This is foolishness. The speaker clarifies that only a very wise person can be their own true well-wisher, as most people, while thinking they are doing good for themselves, end up harming themselves. The real enemy is not external but internal; it is our own ignorance, attachments, and foolishness. This inner enemy makes us weak and distracts us by projecting enemies outside. It wants us to fight external battles so that we do not focus on the inner war. Therefore, true non-violence is the ultimate bravery of fighting and conquering this inner enemy. It is not cowardice or weakness. The common understanding of non-violence as simply not hurting others is superficial. The inner state that causes one to suffer is the same state that motivates one to hurt others. The relationship between non-violence and not harming others is thus indirect. Acharya Prashant uses the Bhagavad Gita to illustrate his point. Shri Krishna first helps Arjun win his inner battle against his own attachments and ignorance. The entire Gita is this process of making the real Arjun fight the false Arjun. Only after winning this internal war is Arjun able to fight the external war against Duryodhana. This action, stemming from inner clarity, is also an act of non-violence. Therefore, an act can be violent or non-violent depending on the inner state of the doer. An act of killing born of ego is violence, but the same act, when performed after attaining knowledge and conquering the inner self, is non-violence. Non-violence does not mean one should not fight external battles when necessary. It means one must first become internally right and strong to fight the correct battle. The speaker also touches upon Mahatma Gandhi's personal journey, noting that he was an ordinary man who conquered his own weaknesses, which is the real lesson to be learned from him. He also mentions that if Bhagat Singh had lived longer, it's possible he and Gandhi would have found common ground, as two people on the path of truth must eventually meet.
