Acharya Prashant addresses the modern distortion of festivals like Holi, which have devolved into displays of consumerism and environmental destruction. He explains that humans are born in a state of suffering and ignorance, seeking happiness through external consumption because they lack self-knowledge. Using the analogy of a car, he describes how people, unaware of their true destination or the vehicle's purpose, begin to consume the vehicle itself—drinking its fuel and oil—rather than using it to reach the destination. This represents consumerism, where humanity consumes the Earth's resources and nature to satisfy an insatiable inner hunger that can only be truly addressed through spiritual liberation.
