Acharya Prashant responds to a doctor's concern about the early onset of puberty in girls as young as eight or nine. He explains that the entire environment we create is designed to be sexually charged. He gives examples, such as the market's tendency to sexualize female athletes to sell products, and how unqualified actresses win elections based on their appeal. He asserts that society is deeply filled with sex and suggests reading Freud to understand its pervasive influence. He illustrates this by showing a picture of a newborn baby dressed in pink, arguing that even infants are sexualized from birth. He further explains the sexual connotations behind common names like 'Pinky' and 'Bubbly,' noting that 'bubbly' is a term for champagne. Acharya Prashant elaborates that this phenomenon is a game of nature (Prakriti), whose sole purpose is its own continuation. He uses the analogy of the giraffe's long neck and the turtle's heavy shell, which are evolutionary adaptations for survival, not for the creature's dignity or well-being. Nature, he says, is indifferent to the individual's liberation; its only concern is the propagation of the species. Applying this to humans, he states that from nature's perspective, a girl's purpose is to become a mother, so early puberty is beneficial as it allows for more offspring. This is why, he explains, sages like Ashtavakra taught that one is beyond nature. He posits that if a person is not spiritual, they will remain natural, which he equates to being sexual. He links materialism, ignorance, and animality directly to sexuality, stating that the body's primary drive is to continue itself and its progeny. He points out that we have even sexualized our gods, giving them consorts, unlike their original depictions in ancient texts. He quotes Kabir Saheb, who said, 'Maya is a great deceiver, I have known. She sits as Kamala in Keshav's house, and as Bhavani in Shiva's abode.' Acharya Prashant argues that the market exploits this inherent sexuality through advertising, using sexual stimulation to make consumers irrational. He contends that this pervasive sexualization is the root of many societal problems. He makes a provocative statement that a father, bound by societal rules against direct incest, vicariously controls his daughter's sexuality by choosing her partner. He concludes that the only solution is self-knowledge and life education. Without this, he warns, humanity will become increasingly animalistic. He clarifies that his role is not to please his audience but to speak the truth, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be.
