Description

Acharya Prashant begins by stating that if a genuine relationship exists between him and his listeners, he cannot bear to see them living an ordinary life like a common person. He says it would make him feel disgusted with himself and his words. He notes that some people have been associated with him for many years, even up to a decade, yet their lives remain unchanged. This lack of transformation disheartens him, as his energy and hope are fueled by the possibility of people changing their lives and the world for the better. When he sees people who have been with him for years but have not changed, he feels his courage break as if someone has struck his spine, and he questions the purpose of his work if it does not benefit those it is intended for. The speaker, who has not lived an ordinary life himself, questions how his listeners can be with him and still lead the same old mundane existence, behaving like any common person haggling in a market or traveling on a bus. He dismisses the excuse of having an "internal change" while externally conforming to the world's ways, urging such individuals to leave him and follow the world instead. He asserts that he has roared and challenged with almost complete honesty and cannot stand to see his followers being timid. He implores them to be new, to have a vibrancy and a glow in their lives, comparing a person of truth to a lion in the jungle and asking, "Where is your roar?" Acharya Prashant declares that his listeners are meant to be historical figures who can turn the tide of time. He challenges the youth to find the strength in their arms and voice, and the older heads of households to question why they remain slaves to their circumstances. He uses the analogy of a TV remote, which is meant to give control, but instead, the screen ends up controlling the user. He laments a life lived under constant compulsion, which only ends when one turns to ashes. He concludes that it is not enough to just listen; one must live what one understands. True gratitude is demonstrated by living the teachings openly and courageously, as there is no other option.
