Acharya Prashant addresses the tragic issue of student suicides in premier institutes, attributing them to the immense societal and academic pressure placed on young individuals. He explains that children are dependent beings who are exploited by being told their life is worthless unless they achieve unrealistic goals. Since these goals are conditioned into every child, but only a tiny fraction can realistically attain them, the remaining majority are left feeling like failures. He argues that parents and educators fail to address the fundamental question of self-identity, instead providing a ready-made answer that life exists solely for material achievement and earning money in multinational corporations. This constant bombardment of propaganda dehumanizes consciousness, turning it mechanical and discouraging independent inquiry. Acharya Prashant asserts that the fault lies with those who apply this undue pressure, rather than the students themselves. He criticizes the narrow definition of success that prioritizes high-paying jobs in fields like data or sales, even when they have nothing to do with the student's actual education or talent. He describes this as a wastage of life, even for those who survive and secure high packages, as they often end up in roles that offer no real meaning. He highlights the lack of 'inner education' or 'education of the self' in the current system, noting that while expert professors are hired for technical subjects, there is no expert guidance for understanding life. He concludes that until society stops measuring life by material gratification and starts valuing self-knowledge, these tragic outcomes will continue to repeat.
