Acharya Prashant explains that spirituality alone can help with the rising rates of suicide. He states that human beings are born incomplete, with a sense of discontentment and restlessness that they carry throughout their lives. In recent times, the market, a product of the industrial revolution, has flooded the world with goods. To ensure these goods are consumed, producers have cunningly instilled a philosophy that consumption is the purpose of life. This has led to a belief that happiness comes from having more, and the worth of a person or a nation is measured by their material acquisitions and GDP. This philosophy creates a paradox. The pursuit of material possessions is endless; one can never have enough. This constant, unfulfilled chase perpetuates the inherent restlessness, leading to neurosis, mental anguish, and ultimately, suicide. The speaker asserts that true fulfillment and peace are possible only through self-knowledge, which is found within. However, he points out that true spirituality has been largely replaced by a rush of cults and false religions over the last century. These cults have actively propagated the idea that ancient religious texts are unnecessary, telling followers to simply listen to the guru instead. This has alienated people from the core wisdom of true spirituality. The speaker concludes that two factors are working in tandem to cause this crisis: a pop philosophy of forced consumption and the demise of real spirituality, which has been replaced by false religion. People are taught that their worth is proportional to what they have, and the respect they deserve depends on their material possessions, not on who they are. This, combined with the loss of access to true spiritual wisdom, leaves people in a state of perpetual restlessness and suffering, leading to the tragic rise in suicides. The only real solution, he reiterates, lies in returning to core spirituality and self-knowledge.
