Acharya Prashant questions whether one has truly earned the right to celebrate Diwali by reflecting on the life of Shri Ram. He asks the audience to comprehend what it means to spend fourteen years in the wilderness, especially for a crown prince who has been dispatched to the forest. While this idea sounds unacceptable to us, Shri Ram lived it with unequaled grace and poise, never once complaining. He utilized these fourteen years to the maximum, fighting the most powerful force of his time, Dashanan. The speaker emphasizes that his Ram is the one who, while being an outcast from his kingdom and almost serving a sentence, fought the formidable Dashanan who had even incarcerated gods and goddesses. Shri Ram fought him almost empty-handed. This is the Ram the speaker reveres, his superhero. To truly worship him, one needs to have at least one percent of him within oneself. The speaker challenges the audience, asking if they would spend even 1% of Ram's exile—about 51 days—in a place like the Amazon, without any comforts, just because they were told to, especially on the eve of their coronation. He points out that our securities and comforts rebel against the very thought of such hardship, yet Shri Ram lived it out in the most humane, just, and compassionate way possible. In contrast, modern celebrations of Diwali have been reduced to a festival of consuming sweets like rasgulla, rabri, and soan papdi. He questions why people enjoy these things on Ram's day when Ram himself did not. He asserts that we are small, petty people who use any pretext to further our dirty instincts of consumption, turning Diwali into an 'explosion of consumption'. Acharya Prashant concludes by urging people to become 'deserving celebrants' for the next Diwali. He suggests that one must first assert their right to celebrate. When the festival is celebrated by those who have earned it, it will invoke another dimension within them, making that night truly special. He ended those 14 years by bringing down the mightiest empire of his times.
